Figure 1. The canopy walk at Reserva Amazónica is more than 30 m high and 344 m long and has two towers, eight platforms, and seven bridges. Recently, National Geographic Adventure recognized Reserva Amazónica as possessing the “Most Extraordinary Canopy Walkway” (Davis 2009), which even includes a private cabin for adventurous guests. Tourists take early morning hikes in search of the many species of impressive birds that have been recorded — but herpetologists can see other species such as Green Thornytail Iguanas (Uracentron azureum, insert).

We herein report five new records of this species from French Guiana extending its range 650 km to the north-east and sug- gesting that D. leali could be much more widely distributed in Amazonia than previously thought. The origin of such a disjunct distribution pattern probably lies in historical fluctuations of the forest cover during the late Tertiary and the Quaternary. Poor understanding of Amazonian species distribution still impedes comprehensive investigation of the processes that have shaped Amazonian megabiodiversity. Key-words: Dendropsophus leali, Anura, Hylidae, distribution, French Guiana. Résumé – À propos de la présence de Dendropsophus leali (Bokermann, 1964) (Anura ; Hylidae) en Guyane française. Dendropsophus leali est une rainette de petite taille présente au Brésil, au Pérou, en Bolivie et en Colombie où elle occupe principalement des habitats ouverts ou des forêts perturbées.

The Great Southern Landfill Site, outside York, Western Australia, was previously referred to as Allawuna Farm Landfill (AFL), and a Works Approval Application (WAA) was prepared by SUEZ and granted by the Department of Environment Regulation (DER) (now the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, DWER) on 17 March 2016; it was subsequently withdrawn by SUEZ. The WAA by SUEZ is publicly available on the DWER website. 2.0 PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION 2.1 WAA data The supporting works approval application provided the following information related to flora and fauna: Allawuna Landfill Vegetation and Fauna Assessment, ENV Australia Pty Ltd (October, 2012) (provided in Attachment A) 2.2 Summary of Information 2.2.1 Flora Golder (2015) summarised: A comprehensive Level 2 flora investigation of the proposed landfill area was undertaken by ENV Australia (2012) (Appendix K). The proposed landfill footprint differs to that considered in the flora assessment, although not significantly. The results and conclusions contained in the 2012 Vegetation and Fauna Assessment Report remain valid for the proposed landfill.

We compared species lists from nine sites in the Madre de Dios region, five of which are in nationally recognized protected areas and four are outside the country’s protected area system. Los Amigos, occurring outside the protected area system, is the most species-rich locality included in our comparison.

This species inhabits rainforest on granitic substrate on the northwestern edge of the Guiana Shield (Estado Amazonas, Venezuela). The new species is distinguished from congeners by sexual dimorphism, its unique male color pattern (including two bright orange parotoid marks and two orange paracloacal spots on dark brown background), call characteristics and other morphological features. Though to the new species is known only from the northwestern edge of the Guiana Shield, its distribution may be more extensive, as there are no significant biogeographic barriers isolating the type locality from the granitic lowlands of Venezuela. Key words: Amphibia, Dendrobatidae, Anomaloglossus, Venezuela, Guiana Shield Resumen Se describe una nueva especie de Anomaloglossus de la Guayana venezolana, que es la vigesimoprimera descrita del Escudo Guayanés, y la decimoquinta para Venezuela.
