The advertisement call of Proceratophrys renalis (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920) (Amphibia: Anura: Cycloramphidae)

Abstract

Proceratophrys renalis (Fig. 1A) was recently revalidated (Prado & Pombal 2008). This frog species comprises a population previously recognized as P. boiei. It occurs in Atlantic forest from Paraíba to south of Bahia State, and in the interior of Brazil, close to transitions between Cerrado and Caatinga biomes, including Jequitinhonha river basin in Minas Gerais State (Prado & Pombal 2008).

Revising the taxonomy ofProceratophrysMiranda‐Ribeiro, 1920 (Anura: Odontophrynidae) from the Brazilian semiarid Caatinga: Morphology, calls and molecules support a single widespread species

“…We were unable to obtain calls of P. aridus. We analyzed acoustic parameters commonly employed in Proceratophrys taxonomy papers (e.g., Mângia et al, 2018; Mângia et al, 2014; Mângia, Santana, & Feio, 2010; Santana et al, 2011; Santana, São‐Pedro, Bernarde, & Feio, 2010): call duration, pulse number per call, pulse number per second, and dominant frequency. Call terminology follows Köhler et al (2017).…”
