“…Bokermannohyla ibitiguara showed no SSD in SVL, as previously observed for other species in the B. pseudopseudis group: B. oxente (Lugli and Haddad, 2006a), B. saxicola (Eterovick and Sazima, 2004), and B. alvarengai (Lugli and Haddad, 2006b). However, B. ibitiguara males were significantly heavier than females without mature oocytes.…”

bstract. The richest anuran fauna is found in the Neotropics, but the natural history of most species is unknown. Bokermannohyla ihitiguara is a stream-dweller treefrog endemic to the Brazilian Cerrado and classified as "Data Deficient" by the IUCN. Herein we describe the species' reproductive biology. Fieldwork was conducted from August 2010 to July 2011. Reproductive activity occurred from October to June and was positively correlated with air temperature, humidity, and monthly rainfall. Individuals were observed only in gallery forests at the margins of streams and males used various kinds of substrates as calling sites. Males did not aggregate in specific parts of the streams and spatial distance between males was higher in the dry season. Males and females did not differ in length, but females without mature oocytes were lighter than males. The reproductive investment (gonad mass/body mass) of males was 0.29% and that of females was 20.26%. Female ovaries contained a mean of 202 ± 75 mature oocytes with a mean diameter of 1.96 ± 0.16 mm. We describe, for the first time for the genus, a complex courtship behaviour and also male-male fight and satellite behaviour. The Cerrado is probably the most threatened savanna in the world, having been intensively modified over the last decades. Endemic species associated to gallery forests, such as B. ibiiiguara, are highly vulnerable to habitat alterations. Thus, our study provides important data on the species' biology, which might be useful for conservation practices, but also to investigate taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships in this genus.

“…9 (aff. B. alvarengai) and later described as B. itapoty by Lugli and Haddad (2006b). The results of Faivovich et al (2005) indicated that B. oxente and B. itapoty were monophyletic, and on this basis, they recognized a B. pseudopseudis group including B. alvarengai-because of its similarity with B. itapoty-and all species associated with the former Hyla pseudopseudis group by previous authors, that is, B. ibitiguara, B. pseudopseudis, and B. saxicola.…”

“…The monophyly of the B. pseudopseudis group is so far supported solely by molecular data, as no morphological synapomorphies had ever been suggested previously for the group. Lugli and Haddad (2006b) created the Bokermannohyla alvarengai species group for B. alvarengai and B. itapoty. The recognition of a B. alvarengai group is problematic at this stage of our knowledge of the phylogenetic relationships of Bokermannohyla.…”
