“…One of us (LM) has recorded the advertisement call of a male Q. flammiventris (MUBI 13365) at the type locality, and this call is composed of 3-4 short notes (~15-35 ms duration) at dominant frequency ~3000 Hz. Females of Q. gymnotis attend clutches of 14-16 eggs [39], but unattended clutches of up to 19 eggs have also been found [14].…”

“…The structure of the advertisement call, when known, appears to be similar in both genera, i.e., a whistle-like call, but composed of a single note in Microkayla vs. 2-4 notes in Qosqophryne (except for Q. gymnotis). There is limited information on parental care, but it appears that females attend clutches in Q. gymnotis [39], whereas males attend clutches in M. illimani and M. teqta [50,51]. Similarly to Qosqophryne, females attend clutches in B. cophites [52], B. hanssaueri and B. nubilosus (Catenazzi, pers.…”

We propose to erect a new genus of terrestrial-breeding frogs of the Terrarana clade to accommodate three species from the Province La Convención, Department of Cusco, Peru previously assigned to Bryophryne: B. flammiventris, B. gymnotis, and B. mancoinca. We examined types and specimens of most species, reviewed morphological and bioacoustic characteristics, and performed molecular analyses on the largest phylogeny of Bryophryne species to date. We performed phylogenetic analysis of a dataset of concatenated sequences from fragments of the 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA genes, the protein-coding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), the nuclear protein-coding gene recombination-activating protein 1 (RAG1), and the tyrosinase precursor (Tyr). The three species are immediately distinguishable from all other species of Bryophryne by the presence of a tympanic membrane and annulus, and by males having median subgular vocal sacs and emitting advertisement calls. Our molecular phylogeny confirms that the three species belong to a new, distinct clade, which we name Qosqophryne, and that they are reciprocally monophyletic with species of Microkayla. These two genera (Qosqophryne and Microkayla) are more closely related to species of Noblella and Psychrophrynella than to species of Bryophryne. Although there are no known morphological synapomorphies for either Microkayla or Qosqophryne, the high endemism of their species, and the disjoint geographic distribution of the two genera, with a gap region of ~310 km by airline where both genera are absent, provide further support for Qosqophryne having long diverged from Microkayla. The exploration of high elevation moss and leaf litter habitats in the tropical Andes will contribute to increase knowledge of the diversity and phylogenetic relationships within Terrarana.

“…El ACP San Luis se estableció el 2015 con el objetivo de conservar los bosques nublados y pajonales húmedos altoandinos, anteriormente este predio fue afectado por la deforestación, extracción ilegal de madera y sobrepastoreo (Mamani 2017). Actualmente, el ACP San Luis constituye un espacio estratégico que sirve como corredor biológico entre áreas naturales protegidas como el Santuario Histórico de Machupicchu, el Área de Conservación Privada Abra Málaga y el Parque Nacional del Manu (SERNANP 2019) facilitando la conexión entre las poblaciones de fauna silvestre y principalmente de P. machupicchu, beneficiando en la conservación de estos ecosistemas.…”

Proctoporus machupicchu es una especie de lagartija semifosorial que fue descubierta en dos localidades dentro del Santuario Histórico de Machu Picchu (SHMP), Cusco, Perú. La serie tipo está conformada por dos hembras y un macho, sin embargo, el paratipo macho no posee poros femorales lo cual es incongruente con los machos mencionados en la literatura. En el presente trabajo, reportamos una nueva localidad fuera del SHMP y reexaminamos la serie tipo. Internamente, el paratipo macho no posee vestigios masculinos (testículos y conductos seminíferos) por lo que concluimos que hubo un error en el sexado. Además, reportamos una nueva localidad basado en un macho juvenil colectado en el área de Conservación Privada San Luis (ACP San Luis) de la provincia de La Convención. Este nuevo registro incrementa el rango de distribución de la especie en 20.9 km al noreste y su rango altitudinal de 2760 – 2800 a 2760 – 2966 m de altitud.
