Abstract
The advertisement call of Chiasmocleis albopunctata is known from specimens from Bolivia, the tadpole is unknown. Here we present data on tadpole and the advertisement call of a Brazilian population of this species. Tadpoles and calls are from Uberlândia (Minas Gerais, Brazil). Tadpoles are 18.3-21.5 mm TL. Body length about 47% total length; tail triangular, flagellar-tipped. Oral apparatus with two symmetrical semicircular flaps pending over the mouth; flaps border wartyornamented. The tadpoles of C. albopunctata differ in color from that of C. shudikarensis. Different from C. ventrimaculata and C. carvalhoi, tadpoles of C. albopunctata do not possess a pair of parentheses-like mottles between eyes. Calls from the Brazilian population were consistently characterized by nine pulses per notes and two harmonic frequency bands, while calls from Bolivia have 5-8 pulses per note and no harmonics.
