摘要:The treefrog genus Scinax currently comprises 73
species occurring in Brazil. Scinax
fuscomarginatus is a small species in the Scinax
ruber clade (Faivovich 2002; Faivovich et al.
2005), with about 20 mm of snout-vent length
(Figure 1). Treefrogs of the S. ruber clade occur
from Mexico to Argentina and may have
originated in South America (Léon 1969). Scinax
fuscomarginatus is typical from open areas
such as those of Pantanal and Cerrado (Brasileiro
et al. 2005; Toledo and Haddad 2005a; b),
occurring in the central portion of Brazil (Haddad
et al. 2008) and also in eastern Bolivia, Paraguay,
and Argentina (Frost 2007). In spite of this
wide distribution, its geographic range is still
unclear, and some populations can be found in
open areas of unexpected biomes, such as the
Atlantic Forest (Freitas and Silva 2007).
Furthermore, the austral boundaries of its
distribution remain unclear.
