“…Because glass frogs are terrestrial arboreal developers, their embryonic and larval features are of interest. We report here on oviposition, and embryonic and early larval development in the Tobago glass frog Hyalinobatrachium orientale Hardy, 1984. Castroviejo-Fisher et al (2008 established that H. orientale inhabits both Tobago and the eastern part of Venezuela's Cordillera de la Costa and Jowers et al (2014) suggested that the Tobago population is distinct enough to merit subspecies designation, as suggested by Hardy (1984).…”

Oviposition and development in the glass frog Hyalinobatrachium orientale (Anura: Centrolenidae). Oviposition and external embryonic developmental features are described in the Tobago glass frog, Hyalinobatrachium orientale. Egg clutches are nearly always laid on the undersides of leaves (one exception); usually leaves of Heliconia sp. are used, but Philodendron and palms may be used in the absence of Heliconia. Clutches contain 28.0 ± 5.3 eggs (mean ± SD) and eggs are 1.86 ± 0.11 mm in diameter. The behavior of one amplectant pair was followed for more than five hours; the pair rotated several times around a small area of the leaf depositing eggs in a tight spiral formation. External embryonic features were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Surface ciliation is extensive up to the time of hatching when it is lost; external gills are short and a cement gland is absent. Hatching gland cells were detectable on the anterodorsal surface of the head from Day 4 after deposition and persisted until at least Day 10, and hatching occurred between Days 9 and 16. During this period, progressive development in tail length, surface pigmentation, intestinal coiling, and oral disc features was observed. Post-hatching larvae reared for six weeks grew 37% in length and tripled in weight, but remained at Gosner Stage 25.Keywords: amphibians, embryonic development, glass frogs, oviposition, Tobago, West Indies.Resumo Ovipostura e desenvolvimento na perereca-de-vidro Hyalinobatrachium orientale (Anura: Centrolenidae). Descrevemos aqui características da ovipostura e do desenvolvimento embrionário externo da perereca-de-vidro de Tobago, Hyalinobatrachium orientale. Os ovos são quase sempre depositados na superfície abaxial das folhas (com uma exceção). Geralmente, são usadas folhas de Heliconia sp., mas, na ausência destas, podem ser usadas folhas de Philodendron sp. e de palmeiras. As desovas contêm 28,0 ± 5,3 ovos (média ± DP) e os ovos possuem diâmetro de 1,86 ± 0,11 mm. O comportamento de um casal em amplexo foi acompanhado por mais de cinco horas; o casal girou 4 Phyllomedusa -14(1), June 2015 diversas vezes em torno de uma pequena área da folha, depositando os ovos em uma formação espiral apertada. As características embrionárias externas foram observadas por microscopia electrônica de varredura. A ciliação é extensa até o momento da eclosão, quando é perdida; as brânquias externas são curtas, e não existe uma glândula de cemento. Células glandulares de eclosão foram detectadas na superfície anterodorsal da cabeça a partir do dia Dia 4 após a ovipostura e persistiram até pelo menos o Dia 10, e a eclosão ocorreu entre os Dias 9 e 16. Durante esse período, foi observado o desenvolvimento progressivo do comprimento da cauda, da pigmentação superficial, do enovelamento do intestino e das características do disco oral. Após a eclosão, larvas criadas por seis semanas cresceram 37% no comprimento e tiveram seu peso triplicado, mas permaneceram no estágio 25 de Gosner.Palavras-chave: anfíbios, desenvolvimento embrionár...

“…Myers et al, 1998;Brown et al, 2008a;Márquez et al, 2017). For closely related but taxonomically uncertain species, bioacoustic information is also relevant, since call parameters can show differences that morphology does not (Angulo & Reichle, 2008;Castroviejo-Fisher et al, 2008;Padial et al, 2008;Pritti et al, 2016). Also, natural history traits related to microhabitat selection for breeding and parental care have shown interesting differences in systematics and evolutionary terms between closed aposematic resembling dendrobatids (e.g.…”

We describe the advertisement call of seven males and observations on the natural history related to the parental attention by males, of a population of nurse frogs attributed to the Leucostethus fraterdanieli complex from the Central Cordillera in the Department of Caldas, Colombia. The advertisement call consists of a long sequence of repeated (x̅ = 143 notes.min-1) pulsed notes, which have an average duration of 79 ± 17 ms (range 63-122 ms), separated by time intervals between 187-413 ms (289 ± 67 ms). The dominant frequency values are in the range between 3209-3520 Hz. Our results suggest differences in temporal and spectral parameters between the population studied and other populations assigned to L. fraterdanieli, L. brachistriatus, and the recently described L. jota.

“…However, species identification within Hyalinobatrachium is often problematic due to subtle morphological differences among taxa. This situation is evidenced by the confusing taxonomic status of several species (see Castroviejo-Fisher et al 2008, 2011a, 2011bGuayasamin et al 2008Guayasamin et al , 2017Guayasamin et al , 2019Kok & Castroviejo-Fisher 2008;Chávez et al 2019;Mendoza-Henao et al 2020). Difficulties in identifying species of Hyalinobathrachium are compounded by the modification of key taxonomic characteristics as an artifact of preservation (e.g.…”

The Neotropical amphibian family Centrolenidae currently includes 156 named species of nocturnal anurans commonly known as glassfrogs. With 79 species, Colombia is the country with the highest diversity of centrolenids. However, the number of species known to occur in the country remains uncertain because research often results in names being resurrected or placed in synonymy, the description of new taxa, and range extensions of species, including new country records. Based on field trips and assess of additional specimens, herein we report new distribution data for centrolenids species in Colombia. These data include six new distribution records for: (Cochranella granulosa, Nymphargus balionotus, N. chami, N. grandisonae, Hyalinobatrachium mondolfii, and H. pellucidum). Records of C. granulosa and H. pellucidum are the first records of these species from Colombia. Thus, our study increases to 81 the numbers of glassfrogs for this country. Because most Hyalinobatrachium have a conservative morphology, making species identification problematic when only based on external traits, we sequenced a fragment of the mitochondrial gene 16S to confirm species identities within a phylogenetic context. We discuss the taxonomic implications of our results for the recognition of species and populations that are morphologically similar to H. talamancae.
