... The species was considered endemic to the Quadril atero and the Meridional Espinhaço, occurring from south to north, from the municipality of Ouro Preto (Lourenço et al., 2006) to the municipality of São Gonçalo do Rio Preto, at the central portion of the Meridional Espinhaço, in the state of Minas Gerais (Leite et al., 2006). However, Walker et al. (2015), based on traditional taxonomic methods (i.e., external morphology, morphometry, and acoustic data), synonymized Bokermannohyla feioi (Napoli & Caramaschi, 2004), described and known only from Serra do Ibitipoca, at the southern Mantiqueira, with B. nanuzae, and extended the geographic range of this species beyond the Espinhaço to the Mantiqueira. Recently, Pezzuti et al. (2021), based on larval morphology, doubted this synonymy, and raised the possibility that B. feioi could be a valid species, distributed both in the Quadril atero and the southern Mantiqueira (Fig. 1). ...
... Considering the current taxonomic rearrangement of B. nanuzae (Walker et al., 2015), we conducted a series of phylogenetic and molecular taxonomic assessments including an extensive outgroup sampling. We explored the mitochondrial 16S rDNA phylogenetic relationships, distance-based analyses, two nuclear gene networks, and coalescent Bayesian methods to test the monophyly of B. nanuzae, assess potential cryptic species hidden under its name and/or any genetic substructure compatible with candidate species, and estimate diversification times. ...
... We obtained samples (muscle and liver) from 87 specimens of B. nanuzae from 13 localities along its entire distribution: Meridional Espinhaço (which we divided in North, Central, and Quadril atero) and Southern Mantiqueira (Fig. 1). We included some of the specimens reported by Walker et al. (2015) and samples from the type localities of B. nanuzae and B. feioi (Table 1). Outgroup selection was based on two extensive phylogenetic analysis (Duellman et al., 2016;Faivovich et al., 2005): Boana lundii (Burmeister, 1856) (n ¼ 1), Bokermannohyla oxente Lugli & Haddad, 2006 (n ¼ 1); Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Bokermann, 1956) (Bokermann, 1967) (Bokermann, 1964) (Bokermann, 1964) (n ¼ 2), and Bokermannohyla saganara Leite, Pezzuti & Drummond, 2011 (n ¼ 1). ...
Despite the huge difference in land coverage between mountains and lowlands, most species are indeed found in mountains and foothills. The causes of this pattern have challenged biogeographers and evolutionary biologists. The Espinhaço and Mantiqueira Ranges are large mountain ranges from eastern Brazil that are global biodiversity hotspots located between the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF) and the Cerrado. However, Espinhaço and Mantiqueira species diversity may still be underestimated, either due taxonomic complexity or morphological cryptic species complexes. Two hylid frogs, Bokermannohyla nanuzae and Bokermannohyla feioi, are endemic, respectively, distributed in these two mountain ranges. These species were recently synonymized based on traditional taxonomy. We used data from the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene 16S and two nuclear genes to undertake phylogenetic and network, distance-based, and multispecies coalescent analyses on B. nanuzae, B. feioi, and an extensive outgroup dataset. We tested the monophyly of B. nanuzae, as well as the presence of candidate new species. Based on 16S phylogenetic analysis, We recovered B. nanuzae as paraphyletic, with B. sagarana nested within it. We recovered two main groups, with the geographic distribution generally corresponding to the Cerrado and AF boundaries. Probably due to ancestral polymorphism, both nuclear haplotype genealogies failed to distinguish B. nanuzae from the former B. feioi and/or from B. sagarana. The time-calibrated mtDNA tree revealed that B. martinsi, B. sagarana, and B. nanuzae have diverged during the Late Miocene, subsequently splitting into the remaining species/lineages during the Plio-Pleistocene. Taken together, our distance-based barcode and nuclear Bayesian analyses identified the former B. feioi, referred to as the AF group, as a distinct evolutionary lineage from B. nanuzae (Cerrado group). We provide the first insights into how different evolutionary lineages speciated in the highlands of southeastern Brazil and revalidated B. feioi for the AF group.

Knowledge of tadpole morphology and natural history is essential to understand and protect anuran diversity. We provide a regional taxonomic catalog of the tadpoles that occur in the Iron Quadrangle (IQ, Quadrilátero Ferrífero), a hotspot of amphibian diversity and highly threatened region in southeastern Brazil. Using a standardized methodology, free-living larvae of 67 species belonging to 25 genera and 11 families are described and illustrated, including photographs of most species in life, natural history notes, and taxonomic comments. Larvae of seven species and/or candidate species (viz., Fritziana aff. fissilis, Bokermannohyla gr. circumdata, Bokermannohyla aff. nanuzae, Pithecopus aff. rohdei, Scinax aff. machadoi, Scinax aff. perereca, and Scinax rogerioi) are described for the first time and compared to congeners. Most tadpoles of candidate species exhibited remarkable differences in morphology compared to closely related congeners, which could provide diagnostic characters for further formal descriptions. The observed material of many of the previously known tadpoles deviated from published descriptions, which might be useful in future taxonomic studies (e.g., providing characters for the taxonomic delimitation of either small-range species or widespread cryptic species complexes). Illustrated dichotomous and multiaccess identification keys are presented, allowing most species to be readily identified using reliable characters. Considering the high-level threat and huge impacts on IQ’s biodiversity and ecosystem services, particularly from mining, the results presented here provide an important foundation for research and conservation of anuran in this region. Finally, we stress that IQ harbors one of the most ecomorphologically diverse Brazilian tadpole assemblages.

... An interesting pattern is that tadpoles of B. ahenea have a pair of circular cumuli of neuromasts on the base of the vent tube. These cumuli occur also in B. capra, B. caramaschii, B. carvalhoi, B. diamantina, B. lucianae, B. nanuzae, B. martinsi, and B. saxicola (Mercês et al., 2015;Pezzuti et al., 2015, Walker et al., 2015 and in larvae of Boana, Aplastodiscus (Kolenc et al., 2008), and Hyloscirtus (Sánchez, 2010).

The call of B. ahenea can be readily distinguished from those of B. carvalhoi, B. ibitiguara, B. ibitipoca, B. nanuzae, and B. sazimai by the lower dominant frequency (Napoli and Caramaschi, 2004;Nali and Prado, 2014;Walker et al., 2015), which is greater than that of B. diamantina, B. hylax, B. luctuosa, B. napolii, B. pseudopseudis, and B. sapiranga (Napoli and Caramaschi, 2004;Napoli and Juncá, 2006;Carvalho et al., , 2013).

Bokermannohyla ahenea is endemic to the Serra da Bocaina, a portion of the Serra do Mar in the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil. Little information is currently available about this species. Herein, we describe the larval morphology of B. ahenea, including internal oral features, chondrocranium, and hyobranchial apparatus, along with its advertisement call and natural history notes. This is the first description of the chondrocranium and hyobranchial apparatus for a member of the genus Bokermannohyla. The larval external morphology of B. ahenea is similar to those of other species of the B. circumdata group, but it can be distinguished from those of other species of the genus by its oral apparatus. The advertisement call of B. ahenea is complex with many numbers of notes. Also, spectral and temporal parameters of the advertisement call can be used to distinguish B. ahenea from its congeners.
... Since the compilation of the anuran endemic species from the Espinhaço Range made by Carvalho et al. (2013), who listed 37 taxa, four new species with distribution restricted to the mountain range have been described: Crossodactylodes itambe Barata, Santos, Leite, & Garcia, 2013, Sphaenorhynchus canga Araujo-Vieira, Lacerda, Pezzuti, Leite, Assis, & Cruz, 2015, Scinax montivagus Juncá, Napoli, Nunes, Mercês, and Abreu, 2015, Odontophrynus juquinha Rocha, Sena, Pezzuti, Leite, Svartman, Rosset, Baldo, and Garcia, 2017. On the other hand, Ololygon tripui Lourenço, Nascimento & Pires, 2009 and Bokermannohyla nanuzae (Bokermann & Sazima, 1973b) lost their endemic status because they were found outside the Espinhaço (Silva et al. 2013) or were synonymized with species that occur elsewhere (Walker et al. 2015), respectively. Therefore, 39 anuran species should be considered endemic to the Espinhaço Range at present. ...
We describe a new species of Physalaemus assigned to the Physalaemus signifer Clade, and it is morphologically similar to P. rupestris, from the highlands of the Serra do Cipó in the southern Espinhaço Range, State of Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. The new species is diagnosed by using the following combination of character states: presence of an arrow-shaped blotch on the dorsum of body; presence of a median longitudinal light stripe over urostyle region; belly and ventral surface of thigh marbled with dark gray irregularly shaped blotches on a bluish background; absence of reddish coloration over axillary and inguinal regions in live individuals; bright orange dots scattered over head, upper lip, and dorsum of body in live individuals; ventral surface of hand and foot red in live individuals; small size (adult male SVL=16.2–18.2 mm); presence of brown, not divided, nuptial pad in males; END/ED in males ranging from 0.85–0.93; supernumerary tubercles on foot absent; tarsal fold absent; tarsal tubercle absent; texture of posterior region of belly and ventral surface of thigh smooth; advertisement call composed of two note types (note A + B); advertisement call duration of 0.80–1.28 s; note A with ascending amplitude until mid-note then descending towards the end of the note; note B with pulses arranged in 5–7 groups; and dominant frequency of note A from 1734.4–2765.6 Hz and of note B from 1507.3–2859.4 Hz. A phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial DNA sequences recovered the new species nested within the Physalaemus deimaticus species group. Additionally, we redescribe the call of Physalaemus rupestris and provide a review of the geographic distribution and conservation status of the species belonging to the P. deimaticus species group.

Cascades and fast-flowing streams impose severe restrictions on acoustic communication, with loud broadband background noise hampering signal detection and recognition. In this context, diverse behavioural features, such as ultrasound production and visual displays, have arisen in the evolutionary history of torrent-dwelling amphibians. The importance of the vocal sac in multimodal communication is being increasingly recognized, and recently a new vocal sac visual display has been discovered: unilateral inflation of paired vocal sacs. In the diurnal stream-breeding Hylodidae from the Atlantic forest, where it was first described, this behaviour is likely to be enabled by a unique anatomical configuration of the vocal sacs. To assess whether other taxa share this exceptional structure, we surveyed torrent-dwelling species with paired vocal sacs across the anuran tree of life and examined the vocal sac anatomy of exemplar species across 18 families. We found striking anatomical convergence among hylodids and species of the distantly related basal ranid genera Staurois, Huia, Meristogenys and Amolops. Ancestral character state reconstruction identified three new synapomorphies for Ranidae. Furthermore, we surveyed the vocal sac configuration of other anuran species that perform visual displays and report observations on what appears to be unilateral inflation of paired vocal sacs, in Staurois guttatus-an extremely rare behaviour in anurans.
... Several other of the narrowly endemic species reported by Cruz and Feio (2007) have since had their geographic ranges extended to sites within the Mantiqueira (Table S2 of Appendix II in the Supplemental File S1 in Supplemental Materials available online). Alternatively, Walker et al. (2015) considered Bokermannohyla feioi, once restricted to Serra do Ibitipoca in the southern Mantiqueira, as a junior synonym of B. nannuzae, which was previously considered an Espinhaço endemic (Leite et al. 2008). ...
We present a synthesis of anuran diversity and distribution in the Mantiqueira Mountain Range, one of the largest mountain ranges occurring within the Atlantic Forest biome of Brazil. We assembled a species list based on the examination of 16,893 specimens housed in 10 herpetological collections and data compiled from the literature. We developed minimum convex polygons for each species to determine their degree of association with the mountain range, and assessed distribution patterns considering species presence-absence in nearby geomorphological units. The northern and southern sectors of the mountain range were examined for differences in species composition, accounting for possible effects of the main vegetation types of the range. We recorded 234 anuran species (~23% of total anuran richness for Brazil), including 143 core species, 89 species of marginal occurrence, and 2 species with an undetermined degree of association because of taxonomic uncertainties. Of these species, 91 were widespread and occur throughout the Atlantic Forest and in other regions, 53 were not widespread but range into neighboring geomorphological units, and 88 were endemic species. The northern and southern sectors of the mountain range differed in species composition, which was influenced by the different vegetation types. Thirty-nine endemic species were restricted to the southern sector, whereas 45 occurred only in the northern sector, indicating that these sectors potentially represent distinct biogeographic units with regard to the anurans. We found 14 species that are listed among the categories of both global and national lists of threatened species and 10 species whose most recent records date from at least 30 yr ago. Our study confirms that the Mantiqueira Range is a critical region for anuran endemism and conservation in the Atlantic Forest, and provides a baseline for future biogeographic, taxonomic, and macroecological studies.

... Data on tadpoles of B. alvarengai, B. nanuzae, and B. saxicola were also obtained from specimens in the UFMG Tadpole Collection (Lots UFMG 160, 1106, 516, and 229, respectively; details listed in Appendix). Walker et al. (2015) recently analyzed tadpoles, vocalizations and adult morphology of B. feioi (Napoli & Caramaschi 2004) and B. nanuzae (Bokermann & Sazima 1973), concluding that the former is a junior synonym of the latter, due to the absence of diagnostic characters. Our comparisons include the distinct populations of B. nanuzae (i.e., Serra do Cipó and Serra do Ibitipoca). ...
... Submarginal papillae also seem to occur rarely in the Bokermannohyla circumdata group, except in B. nanuzae from Serra do Cipó, for which nine of the 12 individuals analyzed, in stages 32-39 have submarginal papillae (UFMG 516;Walker et al. 2015). However, some of the original descriptions are not consistent with the referenced illustrations (e.g. ...
... Oral discs with complete marginal papillae were reported in the original description of B. nanuzae (Bokermann & Sazima 1973-the authors mention the presence of sparse and undeveloped papillae on the medial region of anterior labium) and also for individuals from Serra do Ibitipoca (Napoli & Caramaschi 2004, as B. feioi). However, anterior small gaps in the marginal papillae were figured for both populations in Walker et al. (2015), and occur in all individuals of the analyzed lots (UFMG 516, 1106). The analysis of the original lots used in descriptions is important in order to know whether polymorphism in the presence/absence of gaps occur in these populations. ...
We describe the external morphology and oral cavity of the tadpoles of Bokermannohyla caramaschii and B. diamantina respectively from the states of Espírito Santo and Bahia, Brazil. Larvae of both species are distinguished from each other by external characters such as body shape, labial tooth-row formula, number of marginal papillae, coloration and internal oral anatomy features. Some of the character states of the tadpoles of B. caramaschii and B. diamantina that are shared with all other described tadpoles of the Bokermannohyla circumdata group, such as the absence/reduction of small flaps with accessory labial teeth laterally in the oral disc, and the absence/reduction of submarginal papillae, may represent morphological synapomorphies of this species group, or at least of some internal clade. The general pattern of brownish coloration with longitudinal stripes on the caudal muscle is also common to most species of the group. We did not find character states of the oral cavity that are exclusively shared by species of the B. circumdata group, or by other groups of Bokermannohyla.

A new species of Leptodactylus Fitzinger (Anura, Leptodactylidae, Leptodactylinae) from montane rock fields of the Chapada Diamantina, northeastern Brazil Abstract In this paper, we describe a new species of the Leptodactylus fuscus group on the basis of adult morphology and advertisement call, occurring restricted to montane rock fields of the Chapada Diamantina, northern portion of the Espinhaço Range, central State of Bahia, northeastern Brazil. In addition, we re-describe the advertisement call of L. camaquara from its type locality. Leptodactylus oreomantis sp. nov. represents the first species of the genus occurring restricted to montane rock fields of the Chapada Diamantina, northeastern Brazil, whereas the other three species of the L. fuscus group assumed to be restricted to montane field environments (L. camaquara, L. cunicularius, and L. tapiti) occur in association with mountain ranges of southeastern or central Brazil.
