“…Therefore, the suggestion of inclusion of M. moreirae in the IUCN threatened species list, as made by Guix et al (1998), and its consequent inclusion in the state of Minas Gerais red list (Bernardes 1998), seemed to be precipitated. Our report is another typical example of the poor status of knowledge of the distribution and abundance of the Brazilian anuran fauna (see discussion in Pimenta et al 2005). The present report may also reduce the concern about extinction of Melanophryniscus moreirae.…”

“…This situation has resulted in the compilation of controversial lists of threatened species (see PIMENTA et al 2005), the great majority of which are considered data-deficient species, occasioning equivocal interpretations of the actual situation of different populations of Brazilian anurans.…”

This study reports the rediscovery of Holoaden luederwaldti Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 and provides information on the distribution, sexual dimorphism, reproduction and vocalization of a population of this species in Campos do Jordão, São Paulo (southeastern Brazil). Sampling was carried out in the Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão (PECJ) from October 2005 through December 2008. Collecting was conducted using pitfall traps with a drift-fence on different altitudinal gradients (1,540 m, 1,780 m and 2,000 m a.s.l.). Fifty-two specimens of H. luederwaldti were collected in the PECJ. The mean snout-vent length (SVL) was 36.17 mm for males and 42.61 mm for females, indicating sexual dimorphism in body size. Holoaden luederwaldti occurred during the warm-rainy months. The population was distributed between 1500 and 2000 m, and the greater abundance was registered in well preserved forest areas. Mature females contained from 36 to 41 oocytes and the mean of oocyte diameter was 3.72 mm. The advertisement call of H. luederwaldti consists of simple notes composed of three harmonics. The record of the population of H. luederwaldti in the PECJ has reinforced the importance of investigating different areas of the forest when conducting faunal surveys

“…Besides these localities, this species is also known from Serra da Mantiqueira and Serra do Mar mountains ranges at state of Rio de Janeiro (Carvalho-e-Silva and Caramaschi 2004). Recently, this species was first recorded at southern state of Minas Gerais, in the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Ovídio Antônio Pires, municipalities of Santa Rita da Jacutinga and Bom Jardim de Minas (Pinto et al 2009 abundance of the anuran fauna of Brazil (Pimenta et al 2005;Marques et al 2006;Araujo et al 2007).…”
