Two lotic tadpoles from the Andes of southern Peru:Hyla armataandBufo veraguensis, with notes on the call ofHyla armata(Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae and Bufonidae)

Larval Development and Synapomorphies for Species Groups of Hyloscirtus Peters, 1882 (Anura: Hylidae: Cophomantini)

“…Marinelli et al (1985) and Marinelli and Vagnetti (1988) offer detailed descriptions of development of larval oral features, and detected that in the studied taxa the distal tooth rows hold small, newly formed teeth while the proximal rows are older, formed by thick replacement teeth that push out the smaller ones worn by use. Teeth on the distal rows in the oral disc of Hyloscirtus are smaller than the teeth on the proximal rows (Duellman and Altig, 1978;Ruiz-C. and Lynch, 1982;La Marca, 1985;Cadle and Altig, 1991;Mijares-Urrutia, 1992;Lötters et al, 2005;Kolenc et al, 2008;pers. obs.…”

“…Tadpoles of Hyloscirtus (Hylidae: Cophomantini) show a wide range of variation in the tooth row formulae (Ruiz-C. and Lynch, 1982;La Marca, 1985;Duellman and Hillis, 1990;Cadle and Altig, 1991;Mijares-Urrutia, 1992, 1998Ardila-R. et al, 1993;Duellman and Coloma, 1993;Lötters et al, 2005). Interspecific variability of larval oral structures has also been reported in genera of Hylidae and other families, such as Scaphiopus (Scaphiopodidae; Hampton and Volpe, 1963), Spea (Scaphiopodidae; Potthoff and Lynch, 1986), Bokermannohyla (Hylidae: Cophomantini; Eterovick and Brandao, 2001), Allobates (Dendrobatoidea: Aromobatidae; Castillo-Trenn, 2004), and Hyalinobatrachium (Centrolenidae; Heyer, 1985).…”

Una especie nueva de rana arbórea del género Hyloscirtus (Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae) de la Cordillera del Cóndor

“…La estructura del disco oral es una de las características más sobresalientes y dentro de ésta la fórmula de las hileras de dientes constituye uno de los rasgos que usualmente conducen a determinar la especificidad de una especie . Los renacuajos de Hyloscirtus (Hylidae: Cophomantini) exhiben una amplio rango de variación de la fórmula de las hileras de dientes (Ruiz-Carranza & Lynch, 1982;La Marca, 1985;Duellman & Hillis, 1990;Cadle & Altig, 1991;Mijares-Urrutia, 1992, 1998Ardila-Robayo et al, 1993;Duellman & Coloma, 1993;Lötters et al, 2005). Sánchez (2010), analizó la formula dentaria para los renacuajos de Hyloscirtus y determinó la presencia de dos grupos: (A) incluye especies que presentan una fórmula que varía entre: 5(5)/6(1) y 17(17)/19(1), con especies de Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y Bolivia.…”

“…Gastromyzophorous tadpoles bear a well-developed abdominal sucker located posterior to the oral sucker that enables these tadpoles to adhere tightly to rocks in strong current or torrential stream sections. Gastromyzophorous larvae have been described in the Ranidae (Amolops; Huia; Meristogenys; Rana sauteri Boulenger, 1909; Annandale and Hora 1922;Hora 1930;Inger 1966;Kuramoto et al 1984;Yang 1991;Chou and Lin 1997;Malkmus et al 2002;Matsui et al 2006;Ngo et al 2006;Shimada et al 2007 a,b;Stuart 2008) and the Bufonidae (Atelopus, possibly Sabahphrynus maculatus (Mocquard, 1890), and some Rhinella; Starrett 1967;Duellman and Lynch 1969;Mebs 1980;Lescure 1981;Gray and Cannatella 1985;Lynch 1986;Lindquist and Hetherington 1988;Gascon 1989;McCranie et al 1989;Cadle and Altig 1991;Inger 1992;Rao and Yang 1994;Lavilla et al 1997;Matsui et al 2007;Aguayo et al 2009;Rueda-Solano et al 2015). Semiterrestrial tadpoles with expanded abdominal skin (Thoropa petropolitana (Wandolleck, 1907); Cycloramphus valae Heyer, 1983;Lavilla 1988) are not considered gastromy-zophorous herein.…”
