BackgroundOver the last ten years we have seen great efforts focused on revising amphibian systematics. Phylogenetic reconstructions derived from DNA sequence data have played a central role in these revisionary studies but have typically under-sampled the diverse frog family Microhylidae. Here, we present a detailed phylogenetic study focused on expanding previous hypotheses of relationships within this cosmopolitan family. Specifically, we placed an emphasis on assessing relationships among New World genera and those taxa with uncertain phylogenetic affinities (i.e., incertae sedis).ResultsOne mitochondrial and three nuclear genes (about 2.8 kb) were sequenced to assess phylogenetic relationships. We utilized an unprecedented sampling of 200 microhylid taxa representing 91% of currently recognized subfamilies and 95% of New World genera. Our analyses do not fully resolve relationships among subfamilies supporting previous studies that have suggested a rapid early diversification of this clade. We observed a close relationship between Synapturanus and Otophryne of the subfamily Otophryninae. Within the subfamily Gastrophryninae relationships between genera were well resolved.ConclusionOtophryninae is distantly related to all other New World microhylids that were recovered as a monophyletic group, Gastrophryninae. Within Gastrophryninae, five genera were recovered as non-monophyletic; we propose taxonomic re-arrangements to render all genera monophyletic. This hypothesis of relationships and updated classification for New World microhylids may serve as a guide to better understand the evolutionary history of this group that is apparently subject to convergent morphological evolution and chromosome reduction. Based on a divergence analysis calibrated with hypotheses from previous studies and fossil data, it appears that microhylid genera inhabiting the New World originated during a period of gradual cooling from the late Oligocene to mid Miocene.

“…Anuran taxonomy has used various data sources to describe the species diversity, e.g., advertisement calls, external morphology, osteology, tadpoles, ecology, molecular data, karyotypes (Duellman and Trueb 1986, Haas 2003). However, Chiasmocleis systematics has been based on external morphology from adults and behavioral information (Wogel et al 2004, Hartmann et al 2002, Nascimento and Skuk 2006, Oliveira Filho and Giaretta 2006, Langone et al 2007, Peloso and Sturaro 2008, Rodrigues et al 2008, Santana et al 2012, but see Peloso et al 2014). Sexual dimorphism in size, amount of webbing, and color pattern have been useful characters to diagnose species (Cruz et al 1997).…”

Among Neotropical microhylids, the genus Chiasmocleis is exceptionally diverse. Most species of Chiasmocleis were described in recent years based on external morphology, but recent studies using molecular data did not support the monophyly of the species groups clustered based on feet webbing. Furthermore, a phylogeographic study of C. lacrimae estimated high genetic divergence and low gene flow among populations across small geographic ranges. Increasing the molecular and geographic sampling, and incorporating morphological data, we identified new cryptic species. Herein, we used novel genetic and morphological data to describe a new species of Chiasmocleis.

“…Syncope antenori has free-swimming nonfeeding tadpoles while direct development was suspected to occur in Syncope carvalhoi (Krü gel and Richter, 1995) and C. magnova (Moravec and Kö hler, 2007)-this was never proved by empirical evidence, only inferred from the relative large size and pigmentation of the eggs. On the other hand, most members of Chiasmocleis lay hundreds of small pigmented eggs and have exotrophic tadpoles (Duellman, 1978;Wogel et al, 2004;Lima et al, 2005;Oliveira-Filho and Giaretta, 2006;Rodrigues et al, 2008;Menin et al, 2011;Santana et al, 2012; P.L.V.P., personal obs. ), and species with aquatic free-swimming 3 Only a maximum likelihood topology is shown in de Sá et al (2012).…”

“…Despite the similar structure of most Chiasmocleis advertisement calls, usually composed of a series of multipulsed notes (Santana et al, 2009; but see Santana et al, 2012, for the peculiar call of C. mantiqueira), many diagnostic characters can still be extracted from analyses of well-recorded advertisement calls (i.e., call rate, number of pulses, frequency data).…”

“…Being a widespread taxon in South America and occurring in several biomes, the genus has the potential to be of great relevance for biogeographic studies (e.g., Tonini et al, 2013) and this should be further explored. The phenotypic diversity that exists within Chiasmocleis (for examples, see: Haddad and Hö dl, 1997;Canedo et al, 2004;Santana et al, 2012) can also be more deeply explored once a more complete and robust phylogenetic hypothesis is available and ecological knowledge of the group increases.…”
