Chiasmocleis haddadi Peloso, Sturaro, Forlani, Gaucher, Motta & Wheeler 2014

Description

Chiasmocleis aff. haddadi Peloso, Sturaro, Forlani, Gaucher, Motta & Wheeler, 2014

(Fig. 2C)

TYPE LOCALITY. — French Guiana, Kotika Montains.

DISTRIBUTION. — Easternmost part of the Guiana Shield.

TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — The population of the Mitaraka massif belongs to an undescribed species related to C. haddadi. This last species has been reported from southern French Guiana and Brazil Amapá and even later from Sipaliwini (Fouquet et al. 2015b). However, the records from Amapá, southern French Guiana and this new record from Mitaraka correspond to a different species clearly distinct morphologically and acoustically from C. haddadi. In Mitaraka, we only found juveniles, and identification was confirmed using molecular data (AF, pers. obs.).

HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — Two juveniles were collected from the leaf litter near an uncollected calling male.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — La Planète Revisitée Guyane 2015, MNHN-PNI, APA973-1: AF2880 (J); AF3296 (J).
