Scinax eurydice

(fig. 1D).

In Atibaia (SP), Scinax eurydice (50.1 mm SVL; one male) was recorded at PFI (habitat and syntopic species as described for S. crospedospilus above).

The advertisement call (fig. 5A; Table 1) consists of a single note, with 3 pulses per call, regularly spaced throughout the call. The calls had a mean duration of 110±6 ms, with a call rate of 78.9 calls/min. The frequencies ranged between 0.15–4.54 kHz and the dominant frequency around 1.20–2.60 kHz. The first pulse was generally lower in intensity with calls presenting distinguishable ascendant amplitude modulation from the first to the 2nd or last pulse. Most calls showed the dominant frequency concentrated in the last pulse with frequency modulation throughout the call.
