Abstract

We describe a new species of the Scinax ruber Glade from Northeastern Brazil that occurs in widely separated geographic areas in the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia state and the Highland Humid Forest of Serra de Baturitd, northeast Ceath state. Scinax tropicalia sp. nov. (holotype coordinates: -14.795694 degrees, -39.172645 degrees) is diagnosed from all 75 currently recognize species of the S. ruber Glade by bioacoustical and morphological adult traits, such as duration (0.11-0.31 s) and dominant frequency (1.59-1.85 kHz) of the advertisement call, snout shape rounded, nearly rounded, or semi-circular in dorsal view and rounded to slightly protruding in profile, bilobate vocal sac, absence of pectoral glands and spicule-shaped papillary epidermal projections on nuptial pads, and color pattern on the dorsum of body and hidden surfaces of hindlimbs.
