Abstract
Hypsiboas caingua (Hylidae) is found in northeastern Argentina, in eastern Paraguay, and in Brazil is known only from the southeastern and southern states of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. In this study we reviewed the geographic distribution of H. caingua, including the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, central-western Brazil among the known distribution of the species.
Highlights
In Brazil the known distribution of H. caingua is within the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Pampa biomes
During a field trip in the municipality of Tacuru, Mato Grosso do Sul State, we found one individual of Hypsiboas caingua in the morning of 23 June 2008
No other individual of the species was found on site. This site record extends the geographic distribution of the Hypsiboas caingua to the central-western Brazil, which is located around 500 km far from the nearest previously reported site in southeastern Brazil (Figure 2)
Summary
During a field trip in the municipality of Tacuru, Mato Grosso do Sul State, we found one individual of Hypsiboas caingua in the morning of 23 June 2008. The Hypsiboas pulchellus species group comprises 34 recognized taxa (Faivovich et al 2004, 2005; Antunes et al 2008; Garcia et al 2007; Garcia et al 2008; Kwet 2008) distributed within central and southern South America (Faivovich et al 2005). Hypsiboas caingua (Carrizo, 1990) was previously found in the Misiones and adjacent Corrientes Provinces in northeastern Argentina (Carrizo 1990; Langone 1993; Lavilla and Cei 2001; Alvarez et al 2002), in eastern Paraguay (Aquino et al 1996; Brusquetti and Lavilla 2006), and in the southeastern and southern states of São Paulo (Melo et al 2007; Condez et al 2009; Brassaloti et al 2010; Araujo and Almeida-Santos 2011) and Rio Grande do Sul (Garcia and Vinciprova 1998), Brazil.
