摘要:Brazil is the country with the world’s richest
amphibian fauna, housing over 800 described
species of which the great majority are anurans
(SBH 2007). Given this impressive biodiversity, it
is unsurprising that the current knowledge on the
geographic distributions of many Brazilian
amphibians is greatly deficient, with several
species being known only from their type
localities (Pimenta et al. 2005). Nevertheless, a
number of species with restricted ranges have had
their distributions expanded in recent years (Pimenta
et al. 2005; Santos et al. 2005; Dayrell et al.
2006; Leite et al. 2006; Marques et al. 2006; Martins
et al. 2006; Vieira et al. 2006; Araújo et al. 2007;
Maragno and Souza 2007; Thomé et al. 2007).
