The tadpole of Hypsiboas atlanticus (Anura, Hylidae) from northeastern Brazil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The tadpole of Hypsiboas atlanticus (Caramaschi & Velosa, 1996) is described from the municipality of Maceió, State of Alagoas, Brazil. At stage 36 the larvae have an overall elliptical body in lateral and dorsal views, oral disc anteroventral, spiracular tube sinistral, and labial tooth row formula 2(1,2)/3(1). The oral disc is surrounded, almost completely (anterior medial gap present) by a single row of marginal papillae. Described tadpoles of the H. punctatus species group can be differentiated by a combined disc oral features. Additional descriptions of H. punctatus (Schneider, 1799) tadpoles from populations throughout South America may be helpful in determining the status of these populations.

Larval chondrocranial and internal oral morphology of the neotropical treefrog Boana crepitans (Wied‐Neuwied, 1824; Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae)

“…Oral cavity in Boana crepitans is similar to other species of Boana as well as other Cophomantinae (Spirandeli-Cruz & Gomes, 1991;D'Heursel & de S a, 1999;Both et al, 2007;D'Heursel & Haddad, 2007;Vera Candioti, 2007;Kolenc et al, 2008;Nascimento et al, 2009;Mongin & Carvalho-e-Silva, 2013;Magalhães et al, 2015;Pezzuti et al, 2015;this work). Boana crepitans lacks unique features in the oral cavity that would allow its distinction from other congeneric species.…”

“…However, the internal oral morphology has not been reported for any of Colomascirtus, Hyloscirtus, or Myersiohyla. -Cruz & Gomes, 1991;D'Heursel & de S a, 1999;Both et al, 2007;D'Heursel & Haddad, 2007;Vera Candioti, 2007;Kolenc et al, 2008;Nascimento et al, 2009;Pezzuti et al, 2015, Magalhães et al, 2015in this work).…”

“…We consider these as purported synapomorphies for the subfamily; however, information on additional species in the genus is needed to verify them. (Wassersug, 1980;Spirandeli-Cruz & Gomes, 1991;D'Heursel & de S a, 1999;Both et al, 2007;D'Heursel & Haddad, 2007;Vera Candioti, 2007;Kolenc et al, 2008;Nascimento et al, 2009;Mongin & Carvalho-e-Silva, 2013;Magalhães et al, 2015;Pezzuti et al, 2015;this work).
