Notas sobre as séries-tipo de Holoaden bradei B. Lutz e Holoaden luederwaldti Miranda-Ribeiro (Anura, Brachycephalidae)

Abstract

A série-tipo de Holoaden bradei B. Lutz, 1958 depositada no Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, é examinada. Apesar da referência a "Tipo, 2 Cotipos, 84 Parátipos" (somando 87 exemplares) e a "90 espécimes medidos" na descrição original, apenas 74 exemplares foram encontrados. Desde que nenhum exemplar foi originalmente numerado, o holótipo (ou "tipo") e os parátipos da espécie e sua localidade-tipo são atualizadas. A prévia designação do lectótipo de Holoaden luederwaldti Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920, é reafirmada.

Herpetofauna of Paranapiacaba: expanding our knowledge on a historical region in the Atlantic forest of southeastern Brazil

“…The Holoaden specimen recorded for Paranapiacaba (MZUSP 891) was erroneously cited for Campos do Jordão, São Paulo state, and posteriorly defined as the paralectotype of H. luederwaldti (MIRANDA-RIBEIRO 1920, LUTZ 1958, CARAMASCHI & POMBAL JR 2006. The mistake was corrected and the specimen was recently described as H. suarezi (MARTINS & ZAHER 2013).…”

A third species of the rare frog genus Holoaden (Terrarana, Strabomantidae) from a montane rainforest area of southeastern Brazil

“…A second species, H. bradei Lutz, 1958, was described from Brejo da Lapa (altitude ca. 2100 m), in the Itatiaia highlands (municipality of Itamonte, Minas Gerais State; Caramaschi & Pombal 2006). Morphologically, the genus Holoaden can be easily characterized by its densely glandular dorsum, toes free of webbing, fingers and toes with rounded tips not expanded into disks, large and relatively wide head, absence of a tympanum, big forward-directed eyes, and rhomboid or round (when dilated) pupils (Lutz 1958;Lynch 1971;Hedges et al 2008).…”
