Scinax perpusillus Group

DIAGNOSIS: Presumed synapomorphies of this group are the oviposition in bromeliads and the extreme reduction of webbing between toes II and III (Peixoto, 1987; Faivovich, 2002).

COMMENTS: The monophyly of this group was not tested by Faivovich (2002) because only one species of the group was available for his analysis, where it obtained as the sister taxon of all exemplars of the S. catharinae clade. For these two reasons, we continue recognizing this group until its monophyly is rigorously tested.

CONTENTS: Seven species. Scinax alcatraz (B. Lutz, 1973) ; Scinax arduous Peixoto, 2002 ; Scinax atratus (Peixoto, 1989) ; Scinax littoreus (Peixoto, 1988) ; Scinax melloi (Peixoto, 1989) ; Scinax perpusillus (A. Lutz and B. Lutz, 1939) ; Scinax v ­signatus (B. Lutz, 1968).
