New geographic record for Osteocephalus leprieurii
(Duméril & Bibron, 1841) (Anura, Hylidae) from Amapá
State, northern Brazil

Freitas1, and Carlos Eduardo Costa-Campos1
Osteocephalus leprieurii is a moderate-sized treefrog 19:30 h. We found the treefrog on a bush, 1 m above
(maximum snout–vent length 54.5 mm) distributed the ground (Fig. 1). The individual measured 41.8 mm
throughout the Guiana Shield in French Guiana, snout–vent length and weighed 3.2 g. The treefrog was
Surinam, Guyana, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, collected, fixed in 10% formalin and deposited in the
and Brazil (Frost, 2021). The species has been confused Herpetological Collection of Universidade Federal do
with some of its congeners over the years, as shown Amapá (specimen number CECC 3600).
by the example of Cochran and Goin (1970), who We conducted morphological comparisons using the
compared O. leprieurii, O. planiceps, and O. vilarsi characters provided by Jungfer and Hödl (2002) and
(using the genus name Hyla for leprieurii and vilarsi). were able to identify the specimen as a juvenile O.
Furthermore, Trueb and Duellman (1971), Duellman leprieurii by the combination of the following diagnostic
(1978), Rodriguez and Duellman (1994), and Duellman characters: rounded snout in dorsal and lateral view;
and Mendelson (1995) included in the name O. concave loreal region; smooth and slightly concave the
leprieurii populations that subsequently were described interorbital area of the head; weakly granular throat and
as O. mutabor Jungfer & Hödl, 2002. In the most chest, granular belly and cloacal area. Also, the golden
recent taxonomic review, O. leprieurii was redescribed iris with irregular black vermiculation distinguishes O.
by Jungfer and Hödl (2002), who synonymised it leprieurii from species with golden irises and radiating
with O. ayarzaguenai Gorzula & Señaris, 1997. It is dark lines, such as O. oophagus and O. taurinus, both
therefore clear that the name O. leprieurii has been used present in the same area where we found O. leprieurii.
historically for a several populations that are now no In order to update the geographic distribution
longer regarded part of this species. Thus, it is necessary of this species, we obtained distribution records
to validate previous geographic reports of O. leprieurii from herpetological surveys, the literature, and the
according to the most up-to-date diagnostic characters SpeciesLink database (Table 1). Any records of O.
listed by Jungfer and Hödl (2002). Herein, we provide leprieurii with unspecified or unknown localities were
an updated distribution map of O. leprieurii as well as not used. The map was developed using QGIS software
the first record for it in the Amapá State, Brazil. (QGIS Development Team, 2018).
During an amphibian survey conducted at Reserva de The new record is the first report of O. leprieurii in

do Jari Municipality, Amapá State, Brazil (0.5627°S, range of O. leprieurii by extending its distribution 89 km
52.5775°W; elevation 66 m.) a single specimen of O. in a northeasterly straight-line distance from the nearest
leprieurii was found on 26 November 2020 at around previously known record (Floresta Estadual Paru, Pará
State; 0.9438°S, 53.2361°W; Fig. 2). This record of O.
leprieurii improves our knowledge of its distribution and
highlights the importance of further studies to obtain a
