Amphibia, Anura, Hylodes charadranaetes, Ischnocnema octavioi, and Euparkerella cochranae: distribution extension

Abstract

None

Two new fringe-limbed frogs of the genus Ecnomiohyla (Anura: Hylidae) from Panama

“…After the description of a new species, subsequent sampling usually provides additional comparative specimens, which thus increases our knowledge about the biology and distribution of that species with time (Vrcibradic et al 2008;Hertz et al 2012a). Nonetheless, there are some apparently rare species, whose existence we know for decades based only on the type specimen(s) or material from the type locality (Pimenta et al 2005;Frost 2013, Wickramasinghe et al 2013.…”

The Herpetofauna from Ilha Grande (Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil): updating species composition, richness, distribution and endemisms

“…Ischnocnema -Ischnocnema octavioi was first reported for Ilha Grande by Rocha et al (2000Rocha et al ( , 2001, but that record was later found to be based on two misidentified specimens of I guentheri (Vrcibradic et al, 2008). Bittencourt-Silva & Silva (2013) reported the occurrence of I octavioi in Ilha Grande based on a third specimen, MNRJ 60158 (the two previously mentioned specimens, MNRJ 47972-73, were correctly listed by them under I guentheri).…”

First record of Ischnocnema octavioi (Bokermann, 1965) from São Paulo state, Brazil

“…The species is not present in the checklist of amphibian species of Espírito Santo ), but some authors still report its occurrence in both Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo states (Haddad et al 2013, Frost 2017. Another misidentification was the record from Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro state (Rocha et al 2000(Rocha et al , 2001); 2 specimens were described as I. octavioi, but after later examination they were reclassified as I. guentheri (Steindachner, 1864) (Vrcibradic et al 2008). Nev- ertheless, Bittencourt-Silva & Siva (2013) still included this Ilha Grande record in their publication on the insular anurans on the coast of Rio de Janeiro state.…”

“…2004). According to available literature, almost all previous records of I. octavioi are from the state of Rio de Janeiro, including the type locality, Estrada da Cascatinha, Tijuca Mountains (Bokermann 1965, Costa et al 2008, Vrcibradic et al 2008, Siqueira et al 2009, Ouvernay et al 2012Bittencourt-Silva & Siva 2013, Almeida-Gomes et al 2014a, Martins et al 2014. One exception is the record from Espírito Santo state, but this record probably based on I. verrucosa (Reinhardt & Lütken, 1862), a species with very similar characteristics to I. octavioi but having a different distribution (Dantas & Ferreira 2010).…”
