Amphibia, Anura, Hylodidae, Megaelosia apuana Pombal, Prado and Canedo, 2003: distribution extension, new state record and geographic distribution map

Abstract

In this study we report the first record of the giant torrent frog Megaelosia apuana in the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. The finding of this species at Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Mata do Sossego, municipality of Simonésia, east of Minas Gerais extends its geographic distribution by 120 km from the type locality, and 45 km northwest from its westernmost known record. A geographic distribution map is presented.
