Descrição da larva de Scinax similis (Cochran) com notas comparativas sobre o grupo "ruber" no sudeste do Brasil (Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Description of the larva of Scinax similis (Cochran) with comparative notes on the Scinax ruber group in Southeastern Brazil (Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae). The larva of Scinax similis (Cochran, 1952) is described [rom Ilha do Fundão (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil). Comparisons with other species ofthe group that occur in Southeastern Brazil are added. The larva of S. similis can be distinguished by the following diagnostic features: (1) eyes large in relation to body length (17,3%), body height (26,8%), and body width (29,7%), interocular distance three times larger than eye diameter; (2) lower beak with two transverse stripes, proximal half white and distal half black.

Characterization and taxonomic key for tadpoles (Amphibia: Anura) from the northwestern region of São Paulo State, Brazil

“…The tadpoles described by Alves & Carvalho-e-Silva (1999), from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, differ from those studied herein by a longer total length (31 mm at stage 37), globular body, oval nares, spiracle opening posterodorsally directed and submarginal papilla distribution, with some papillae forming an irregular row and others distributed in a disorganized way.…”

A new species of Rock-Dwelling Scinax Wagler (Anura: Hylidae) from Chapada dos Veadeiros, Central Brazil

“…nov. from most known tadpoles in the clade that have either a terminal oral disc (S. acuminatus and the S. rostratus group, see Faivovich 2002), or a subterminal disc (e.g. S. similis and S. elaeochrous; Alves & Carvalho-e-Silva 1999;Faivovich 2002). The only known exceptions are S. cruentommus and S. ictericus (Duellman & Wiens 1993;Faivovich 2002) where Faivovich (2002) considered that the position of the disc was polymorphic for ventral and subterminal positions.…”
