Herein, we provide new occurrence records of Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil. All new records here provide are located on Southern half of the state. Besides this, we provide the first record for species in Brazilian coastal zone. Those records improve considerably our knowledge regarding species distribution in Southern Brazil.Keywords: Brazil subtropical, Pampa Domain, Scinax ruber clade. Primeiro registro da perereca-de-banheiro Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) na costa do Brasil e novos registros para o estado do Rio Grande do Sul ResumoAqui, nós fornecemos novos registros de ocorrência de Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) para o estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Sul do Brasil. Todos os novos registros aqui fornecidos estão localizados na metade sul do estado. Além disso, nós fornecemos o primeiro registro para a espécie na zona costeira brasileira. Esses registros melhoram consideravelmente o nosso conhecimento sobre a distribuição da espécie no Sul do Brasil. Palavras-chave: Brasil subtropical, Domínio do Pampa, clado Scinax ruber.Scinax nasicus (Cope, 1862) is morphologically characterized by having a flattened body, rounded snout in dorsal view and truncated in side view, and it has a relatively small body size (~35 mm CRC) by comparison with other species of the Scinax ruber clade (Pombal Junior et al., 1995). Even so, species may be confounded with other sympatric species of S. ruber clade, such Scinax fuscovarius (Lutz, 1925), Scinax granulatus (Peters, 1871) and Scinax perereca (Pombal Junior et al., 1995). When available, advertisement call is one of the more effective tools to confirm species identification once that it has shorter duration compose by a single note by comparison with their congeners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
