Abstract
Abstract. Dendropsophus nekronastes is a poorly known species of the D. leucophyllatus group endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia, Brazil. We describe the external morphology of the tadpole of D. nekronastes and compare it with other known tadpoles of the D. leucophyllatus group. The tadpole of D. nekronastes generally resembles most species of the D. leucophyllatus group; however, a dark longitudinal stripe bordered by a yellow stripe on the dorsum differentiates it from all previously described tadpoles of species in the D. leucophyllatus group. Resumo. Dendropsophus nekronastes é uma espécie pouco conhecida do grupo D. leucophyllatus, endêmica da Mata Atlântica do sul da Bahia, Brasil. Descrevemos a morfologia externa do girino de D. nekronastes e comparamos com outros girinos conhecidos do grupo D. leucophyllatus. O girino de D. nekronastes se assemelha em geral à maioria das espécies do grupo D. leucophyllatus. No entanto, a faixa longitudinal escura do dorso margeada por uma faixa amarela difere de todos os girinos descritos das espécies do grupo D. leucophyllatus.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herpetology accepts manuscripts on all aspects on the biology of amphibians and reptiles including their behavior, conservation, ecology, morphology, physiology, and systematics, as well as herpetological education. We encourage authors to submit manuscripts that are data-driven and rigorous tests of hypotheses, or provide thorough descriptions of novel taxa (living or fossil). Topics may address theoretical issues in a thoughtful, quantitative way. Reviews and policy papers that provide new insight on the herpetological sciences are also welcome, but they must be more than simple literature reviews. These papers must have a central focus that propose a new argument for understanding a concept or a new approach for answering a question or solving a problem. Focus sections that combine papers on related topics are normally determined by the Editors. Publication in the Long-Term Perspectives section is by invitation only. Papers on captive breeding, new techniques or sampling methods, anecdotal or isolated natural history observations, geographic range extensions, and essays should be submitted to our sister journal, Herpetological Review.
