Ameerega flavopicta (Lutz, 1925): First dart-poison frog (Anura: Dendrobatidae) recorded for the state of São Paulo, Brazil, with comments on its advertisement calls and taxonomy

Abstract

Ameerega flavopicta is a dart-poison frog (Dendrobatidae) widely distributed throughout rocky habitats in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais, Goiás, Tocantins, Pará, and Maranhão. Here we report for the first record of a dendrobatid frog in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, based on individuals of A. flavopicta found at the Municipality of Pedregulho, and also describe the advertisement calls of a male from this population. A taxonomic discussion is provided. © 2012 Check List and Authors.
