Abstract
Herein I present a new geographical record of Ischnocnema verrucosa Reinhardt and Lütken, 1862 for northeastern Brazil and briefly discuss the new record with a previous record of similar characteristics.
Highlights
During field work in July, 12th of 2009 in Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Serra Bonita (Serra Bonita Natural Patrimony Particular Reserve), municipality of Camacan, state of Bahia, a single specimen of I. verrucosa (CFBH 23685) was collected (Figure 1)
Santo is that while lowland forest was replaced by cacao plantations in southern Bahia (Napoli and Pimenta 2003; Canedo et al 2004; Pimenta et al 2005), the highland forests of Camacan are constituted mainly by highly regenerated secondary forests with primary areas similar to the ones found in Reserva Santa Lúcia in Santa Teresa and surroundings (Rödder et al 2007) (Figure 2)
