Abstract

Herein, we report a new record of the milk frog Trachycephalus coriaceusfor the Brazilian southern Amazonia and provide an updated geographic distribution map. We collected one specimen of T. coriaceuson 8 november 2016, during a nocturnal survey inside a dense ombrophilousforest in the right bank of the Teles Pires River, municipality of Jacareacanga, southern of Pará State. The record of T. coriaceusto Jacareacanga is the first to the State. The disjoint geographic distribution of this species along de Amazonia may just reflect the paucity of amphibian knowledge throughout this biome and the difficulty to detect this species in the field, given its explosive reproductive behavior.
