Abstract

The family Hylidae comprises nearly 800 described species divided into three subfamilies (Hylinae, Pelodryadinae, and Phyllomedusinae). Hylinae, the most specious subfamily, has been divided into four tribes: Cophomantini, Hylini, Lophiohylini, and Dendropsophini. Of these, Dendropsophini is the one with less support, as assessed by different measures, and also is the one that quantitatively was the less sampled (only 40 of its nearly 200 species were included). Primary goals of this project include 1) to reinforce weak areas of the tree with additional sequences, 2) to start increasing the sampling of the multiple genera that are represented by few species or whose representation clearly did not cover the morphological and biological diversity of the taxonomic unit, 3) in general, to increase the taxonomic sampling to begin to understand interspecific relationships in some of the various groups. These three goals are specifically related with Dendropsophini, in that we expect to 1) present a stronger test of its monophyly, and 2) and 3), to increase significantly our taxon sampling of the genera Dendropsophus, Scinax, and Sphaenorhynchus. Also, connected with goals 2) and 3) secondarily we expect to solve problems regarding relationships of the Bokermannohyla claresignata group (a group that was not available for FAIVOVICH et aI., 2005) within Cophomantini, and to address some pending issues within the subfamily Phyllomedusinae.
