“…The first list of amphibians reported to occur in the state of Rio de Janeiro was published by Rocha et al (2004), who listed 166 species. Since then, there has been an increase in species inventories performed throughout the state, improving the knowledge about the composition and distribution of the state's amphibian fauna (e.g., Almeida-Gomes et al, 2008, 2014Carvalho-e-Silva et al, 2008;Siqueira et al, 2011a, b;Salles et al, 2009;Silva-Soares et al, 2010;Vrcibradic et al, 2011;Martins et al, 2012Martins et al, , 2014Telles et al, 2012;Bittencourt-Silva & Silva, 2013;Pontes et al, 2015). Additionally, several species have been added to the state's amphibian list, either through reports of new occurrence records (e.g., Vrcibradic et al, 2006;Silva-Soares et al, 2009;Silveira et al, 2010;Caram et al, 2011;Pederassi et al, 2015), or through descriptions, revalidations or reassessments of taxa (e.g., Carvalho-e-Silva & Carvalho-e-Silva, 2005;Caramaschi & Pombal, 2006;Canedo & Pombal, 2007;Pombal et al, 2008;Prado & Pombal, 2008;Silva & Alves-Silva, 2008;Carvalho-e-Silva et al, 2009Targino et al, 2009;Pombal, 2010;Pombal & Izecksohn, 2011;Weber et al, 2011;Silva & Alves-Silva, 2011;Nunes et al, 2012;Silva & Ouvernay, 2012;Dias et al, 2013;Caramaschi et al, 2013;Pimenta et al, 2014;…”
