Description Of The Tadpoles Of Hypsiboas Aguilari And H. Melanopleura Aguilari And H. Melanopleura (Anura: Hylidae: Hypsiboas Pulchellus Group), Edgar Lehr, Julian Faivovich, Karl-Heinz Jungfer

Edgar Lehr

We describe the tadpoles of Hypsiboas melanopleura and H. aguilari and compare them with the tadpoles of other species in the Hypsiboas pulchellus group. The description of the tadpole of H. aguilari is based on an individual at Gosner Stage 29 and that of H. melanopleura on an individual at Gosner Stage 28. Both tadpoles have a labial tooth row formula of 2(2)/4(1). At Stage 35, the tadpole of H. aguilari had a total length of 52.2 mm, at Stage 37, the tadpole of H. melanopleura had a total length of 60.7 mm. In life, the tadpole of H. aguilari …

A New Species Of Pristimantis (Anura: Strabomantidae) From The Amazonian Lowlands Of Northern Peru, Edgar Lehr, Luis A.G. Gagliardi Urrutia, Jiri Moravec

Edgar Lehr

We describe a new species of Pristimantis from the vicinity of Puerto Almendras, ca. 17 km straight southwest of Iquitos, Provincia Maynas, Region Loreto, Peru. With seven other species (P. carvalhoi, P. croceoinguinis, P. divnae, P. lirellus, P. minutulus, P. toftae, P. variabilis) from the Amazonian lowlands and lower eastern Andes in Peru, the new species shares a yellow groin and broadly expanded discs on fingers and toes. However, the new species can be distinguished by the follow¬ing combination of characters: snout–vent length 14.8 mm in the single male, 20.0–22.0 mm in females, strongly tubercular dorsal skin, absence of dorsolateral …
