Fritziana aff. fissilis (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920) (Anura, Hemiphractidae): the first hemiphractid for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil

Abstract

The first occurrence of Fritziana aff. fissilis (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, is reported. The records were obtained near the sources of the Rio dos Sinos, municipality of Caraá, and extend the range of the species 140 km south from where it was previously known. The new records also represent the first time a species of the family Hemiphractidae is recorded in the state.
