Amphibia, Anura, Strabomantidae, <i>Strabomantis aramunha</i> Cassimiro, Verdade and Rodrigues, 2008: Distribution extension with notes on natural history, color patterns, and morphometric data

Abstract

During surveys of anurans in the Chapada Diamantina, a semiarid region in central Bahia, Brazil, we obtainednew records of Strabomantis aramunha Cassimiro, Verdade and Rodrigues. The new records extend the geographicdistribution of S. aramunha in about 200 km north and 75 km south in relation to the type locality (municipality of Mucugê,state of Bahia, Brazil). We observed males calling at night at the Morro do Pai Inácio, municipality of Palmeiras. This newdata is important, as in the original description the authors suggested the possibility of absence of advertisement call in thespecies. We also provide additions on color and morphometric data.
