Release call of Corythomantis greeningi Boulenger, 1896 (Anura: Hylidae)

“…The Lophyohylini tribe (Hylidae: Hylinae) is composed by 88 species (Frost, 2021), and in spite of this diversity, only two species were studied considering characteristics of the release calls (Gordo et al, 2013;Forti, Foratto, Márquez, Pereira, & Toledo, 2018). Among the Lophyohylini, Corythomantis greeningi Boulenger, 1896 is a medium to large-sized hylid species (66.1-71.7 mm) widely distributed in xeric and subhumid regions of northeastern Brazil (Figure 1), and Caatinga-Cerrado transition areas in the states of Minas Gerais, Tocantins, and Goiás (Godinho, Moura, & Feio, 2013). Although part of the acoustic repertoire of this species is known (Jared, Antoniazzi, Katchburian, Toledo, & Freymüller, 1999;Jared & Antoniazzi, 2008;Juncá, Carneiro, & Rodrigues, 2008), the release call has never been described.…”
