Amphibia, Anura, Strabomantidae, Strabomantis aramunha Cassimiro, Verdade and Rodrigues, 2008: Distribution extension with notes on natural history, color patterns, and morphometric data

Abstract

During surveys of anurans in the Chapada Diamantina, a semiarid region in central Bahia, Brazil, we obtained new records of Strabomantis aramunha Cassimiro, Verdade and Rodrigues. The new records extend the geographic distribution of S. aramunha in about 200 km north and 75 km south in relation to the type locality (municipality of Mucugê, state of Bahia, Brazil). We observed males calling at night at the Morro do Pai Inácio, municipality of Palmeiras. This new data is important, as in the original description the authors suggested the possibility of absence of advertisement call in the species. We also provide additions on color and morphometric data. © 2010 Check List and Authors.
