Cassini, Carla Santana, Cruz, Carlos Alberto Gonçalves & Caramaschi, Ulisses, 2010, Taxonomic review of Physalaemus olfersii (Lichtenstein & Martens, 1856) with revalidation of Physalaemus lateristriga (Steindachner, 1864) and description of two new related species (Anura: Leiuperidae), Zootaxa 2491, pp. 1-33 : 6-7

Physalaemus lateristriga comb. nov. and two new species

Nattereria lateristriga , described by Steindachner (1864), is presently associated to P. olfersii . The type locality of the species is pointed as “Curitiba, in forest land” ( Steindachner 1864; Bokermann 1966). Specimens analyzed (see Appendix) of the “Southern” morphological unit agree with the description of Nattereria lateristriga ( Steindachner, 1864) . We recorded calls from a population of São José dos Pinhais, which is the nearest city from Curitiba, distant about 10 km. The original description of Nattereria lateristriga was based on specimen NMW 4329:1 ( Fig. 3 ) and NMW 4329:2, females, and here we designate the specimen NMW 4329:1 as the lectotype for Physalaemus lateristriga comb. nov.

Finally, we recognize the morphological units “Serra da Mantiqueira” and “Serra do Espinhaço” as new species: Physalaeus feioi sp. nov. and P. orophilus sp. nov., respectively.
