Abstract

HOOGMOED, Marinus Steven  and  AVILA-PIRES, Teresa Cristina Sauer. On the presence of Scinax pedromedinae (Henle, 1991) (Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae) in Amazonian Brazil and northern Peru. Bol. Mus. Para. Emilio Goeldi Cienc. Nat. [online]. 2011, vol.6, n.3, pp.263-271. ISSN 1981-8114.

We report the presence of Scinax pedromedinae in northern Peru, near the point where the borders of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia meet (660 km northeast of Pucallpa and 900 km N of Puerto Maldonado), and in the Estação Ecológica Mamirauá in central Amazonas State, Brazil (1,200 km NE of Pucallpa, 1,100 km NNE of Puerto Maldonado, and 600 km E of the northern Peruvian locality reported here). These new records suggest a continuous distribution of this species in the western Amazon Basin, in eastern Peru, western Brazil, and northern Bolivia.

Keywords : Scinax pedromedinae; Brazil; Peru; Amazonia; Distribution extension.
