“…Recently, Peloso et al (2014) placed Syncope in the synonymy of Chiasmocleis . Chiasmocleis is the most diverse genus of Neotropical microhylids, with 29 species distributed throughout Amazonia, Atlantic Forest, and open areas in South America, such as the Brazilian Cerrado and the Chaco of Bolivia and Paraguay (Cruz et al 1997, de Sá et al 2012, Peloso et al 2014). …”

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.

“…No entanto, é considerada subestimada frente ao crescente número de novas espécies descritas recentemente (Orrico et al, 2014;Peloso et al, 2014;Colli et al, 2015;Feitosa et al, 2015;Rojas et al, 2015) e com distribuições geográficas ampliadas para a porção brasileira do bioma (França et al, 2013a,b;López-Rojas et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2016). Além disso, o conhecimento sobre estes dois grupos na Amazônia ainda é pontual, devido à maioria dos estudos resultarem de amostragens rápidas, concentradas em poucas regiões próximas aos grandes centros de estudos e/ ou de fácil acesso rodoviário ou hidroviário (Azevedo-Ramos & Galatti, 2002;Lynch, 2005;Avila-Pires et al, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. Local diversity and infl uence of seasonality on amphibians and reptiles assemblages in the Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes, Acre, Brazil. Despite the high richness of amphibians and reptiles known for the southwestern portion of the Brazilian Amazon, the knowledge of these is punctual and few studies have evaluated the temporal variations in the occurrence and abundance of species. The goals of this study were to present the amphibians and reptiles assemblages in a locality of the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve, verify which climate variables infl uence the temporal fl uctuations in richness and abundance, and identify the main species of the amphibians and reptiles infl uenced by them. The study area is located in the Seringal Etelvi region, southwestern portion of the Reserve, municipality of Brasiléia, state of Acre. Data collection took place between October 2011 and September 2012, for 48 sampling days, using the methods of searches limited by time and pitfall traps. There were recorded 978 specimens of 31 amphibians and 54 reptiles. Higher richness and abundance of amphibians occurred during the rainy season, with the monthly abundance positively associated with the mean temperature. Only the abundance of reptiles was higher during the rainy period. However, both richness and abundance were positively associated with mean temperature. Four amphibians, Allobates gr. marchesianus, Hamptophryne boliviana (Parker, 1927), Boana geographica (Spix, 1824) and Rhinella marina (Linnaeus, 1758), and two reptiles, Kentropyx pelviceps Cope, 1868 and Norops fuscoauratus (D'Orbigny, 1837), had their monthly abundances positively associated with the mean temperature. The lizard Dactyloa punctata (Daudin, 1802) had the monthly abundance associated with precipitation. It was possible to verify the increase of richness and abundance of amphibians and reptiles during periods when the availability of resources is favorable for many species. Species can react diff erently to climatic variations, whereas others are sensitive to fl uctuations, others seem answer easily or not reduce their abundances in periods theoretically unfavorable.KEYWORDS. Richness, abundance, Southwestern Amazonia, seasonality, temporal variation.RESUMO.

“…The anuran fauna corresponded to 65.7 % of the recorded species for the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park (Lima 2008), 86.9 % of the species found in the River Cajari Extractive Reserve (Queiroz et al 2011), 60.9 % species recorded during the surveys conducted of the Rio Curiaú Environmental Protection Area (Lima et al 2017), and 90.6 % species of anurans recorded in the Amapá National Forest (Bemício and Lima 2017). This high anurans richness for the Amazonian biome is highly underestimated considering taxonomic problems, recent descriptions of species and taxonomic revisions (Peloso et al 2014; Vaz-Silva et al 2015). …”

In this study, the first survey of anuran species in the Cancão Municipal Natural Park is presented, a protected area of approximately 370 hectares of Amazonian forest located in the northwest center region of the state of Amapá, Brazil. The work was performed during the dry and rainy season, through active visual and auditory survey, totaling 216 man hours of sampling effort. Forty-nine species of anuran amphibians were recorded in the Cancão Municipal Natural Park, including three new records: Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense, Pristimantis cf. ockendeni, and Scinax garbei. Three species, Hyalinobatrachium iaspidiense, Ameerega pulchripecta, and Anomaloglossus baeobatrachus, are listed as Data Deficient and one is listed as Vulnerable (Atelopus hoogmoedi) according red lists of IUCN. The rarefaction curve cumulative species did not reach an asymptote, indicating that site has potential for species that have not yet been recorded. Nine species were represented by only one individual and were considered rare in the studied environments, eight species were defined as common, and the 32 remaining species were classified as having intermediary abundance. Our data indicated that Cancão Municipal Natural Park contains a considerable portion of the anurans species richness of Amapá state, turn the area into a place of great importance for the conservation of the anurans of the Eastern Amazon.
