摘要：Taxonomic considerations on Thoropa miliaris (Spix, 1824), with revalidation and redescription
of Thoropa taophora (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1923) (Amphibia, Anura, Leptodactylidae).
Through the evaluation of the variation of morphometric and external morphologic characters of different
population samples along its geographical distribution, Thoropa miliaris (Spix, 1824) is taxonomically
characterized, with designation and description of a neotype for the species. The same analysis evidenced
that the samples from the coast and part of the interior of the State of São Paulo are consistently different
from the nominal species. Thoropa taophora (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1923) is revalidated and redescribed to
designate these populations. The geographic distribution of both species is presented.
