The Larva and Advertisement Call of Bokermannohyla ahenea (Anura: Hylidae)

“…The tadpoles of most species Bokermannohyla have been described (23 of 32 species, or 72%; Provete et al, 2012;Magalhães et al, 2015;Pezzuti et al, 2015). There is striking variation in larval morphology among species groups of the genus (Table 2).…”

“…These characteristics easily distinguish them from B. ahenea. All larvae of the B. pseudopseudis species group are lotic, benthic, and their LTRF is typically 2(1,2)-3(3)/4(1)-5( 1)-6(1)-7(1)-8(1) (Cardoso, 1983;Sazima and Bokermann, 1977;Eterovick and Brandão, 2001;Lugli and Haddad, 2006a, b;Magalhães et al, 2015), which is distinct from the 2(2)/3(1) labial teeth row formula of B. ahenea. The submarginal papillae of B. pseudopseudis species group are arranged either in 1-4 rows antero-laterally or only one row around the whole oral disc (Sazima and Bokermann, 1977;Eterovick and Brandão, 2001;Lugli and Haddad, 2006a, b;Magalhães et al, 2015), while those of B. ahenea are scattered and may or may not form a row.…”

“…All known larvae of Bokermannohyla have 20-40 BFA papillae per side and 4-7 prepocket papillae; 2 lingual papillae (except B. luctuosa, which has 3); buccal pockets narrow, deep, and transversally oriented; ventral velum wide with irregular posterior margin, spicular support weak, distinct median notch; presence of vacuities anterior to nostrils; 2-3 postnarial papillae arranged in a Λ-pattern, with the antero-medial papilla larger than the others; median ridge triangular; and presence of lateral ridge papillae either as complex hand-like or with few, small secondary projections (d'Heursel and Haddad, 2007;Magalhães et al, 2015;Pezzuti et al, 2015). Most species of Bokermannohyla share a pair of large infralabial papillae anteriorly, with secondary, digitiform projections and another smaller posterior pair of conical papillae (d'Heursel and Haddad, 2007; this study).…”

“…Most species of Bokermannohyla share a pair of large infralabial papillae anteriorly, with secondary, digitiform projections and another smaller posterior pair of conical papillae (d'Heursel and Haddad, 2007; this study). The tadpoles of B. circumdata (Mongin and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2013), B. flavopicta, B. oxente (Magalhães et al, 2015), andB. caramaschii (Pezzuti et al, 2015) are unique in having five, four, and three pairs of infralabial, multiple-branching papillae, respectivelymore than the remaining species of the genus.…”

Chondrocranium and internal oral morphology of the tadpole of Corythomantis greeningi (Anura: Hylidae)

“…Osteopilus septentrionalis lacks pustules and lateral roof papillae (Lannoo et al 1987). Some Cophomantinae have lateral roof papillae (D 'Heursel and Haddad 2007, Mongin and Carvalho-e-Silva 2013, Magalhães et al 2015b, Pezzuti et al 2015.…”
