“…In the characterization given by Barrio ( , 1964, Scinax berthae was already vaguely related to the S. catharinae (then Hyla) group as defined by Lutz (1954), and Lutz (1973) included S. berthae in the S. catharinae ''complex'' among the species with yellow-orange flash colors, as did . Fouquette and Delahoussaye (1977) placed it as a ''probable member'' of the S. staufferi group without further comment.…”

A cladistic analysis of Scinax (Anura: Hylidae)

2002

The hylid frog genus Scinax ranges from southern Mexico to eastern Argentina. The 84 recognized species are currently arranged in five groups: the Scinax rubra, Scinax rostrata, Scinax catharinae, Scinax staufferi, and Scinax perpusilla species groups. Although a few species groups are distinctive, compelling evidence of monophyly is lacking for three groups, and their interrelationships remain virtually unknown. With the objective of testing the monophyly of the species groups and exploring their interrelationships, a cladistic analysis was performed, employing 86 characters from osteology, myology, adult and larval external morphology, reproductive biology, and karyotypes taken from 36 representative species of the five species groups plus eight outgroup taxa. The analysis of the resulting data matrix shows moderately well-supported (as assessed through Bremer support and parsimony jackknifing) S. catharinae and S. rostrata species groups. The S. staufferi species group is polyphyletic, as currently composed, given that some of its species are nested within the S. catharinae species group. The only representative of the S. perpusilla species group is the sister species of the S. catharinae species group. Although weakly supported, the representatives of the S. rostrata and S. staufferi species groups are nested, separately, within the S. rubra species group. In order to have a taxonomy consistent with these results, it is proposed not to recognize the S. rubra group but to recognize a more inclusive rubra clade that includes all studied exemplars of the former S. rubra group, plus some of the S. staufferi group and all of the S. rostrata group. Similarly, a catharinae clade is recognized, within which all studied exemplars of the S. catharinae group (that now includes Scinax berthae and Scinax agilis) and the one studied representative of the S. perpusilla group are included.

“…Scinax berthae is a species with a wide distribution (Barrio, 1964), ranging from São Paulo, Brazil, south to Punta Lara (the type locality) in northwestern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, and extending west to Cerrito, Chaco Province (Langone and Prigioni, 1988;Lopez et al, 1999). It is a highly variable species, and a study to define the limits of this variation is seriously needed.…”

Hyla circumdata (Cope, 1870) occurs in subtropical and tropical rain forests, distributed over mountain ranges of the Brazilian Plateau, mainly in the Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira ranges. Samples of the northern sector of Serra da Mantiqueira revealed distinctive characters when compared to samples from the southern sectors of Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar, which suggest that the former is a new species. The new species is characterized mainly by large size (snout-vent length 57.5-70.0 mm in males; 55.3-67.2 mm in females), absence of vocal slits in adult males, and a large tympanum.

“…Ololygon berthae is the most broadly distributed species of Ololygon (see Nascimento et al, 2016 for a recent review), with ≈2000 km (airline) separating the two most distant localities from which we included sequences (Magdalena, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Itatiaiçu, Minas Gerais, Brazil). This broad distribution has been known since the original description of this species (Barrio 1962, 1964). Although Punta Lara, Buenos Aires, Argentina is the type locality, the type series included two paratypes from São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil (LIH 1088–1089).…”
