Aplastodiscus perviridis Group

DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 58 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. Apparent morphological synapomorphies of this group include the bicolored iris and the absence of webbing between toes I and II (known instances of homoplasy within hylids occur in some Scinax and in various groups of Lophiohylini ) and reduction of webbing between the other toes (Garcia et al., 2001).

CONTENTS: Two species. Aplastodiscus cochranae (Mertens, 1952) ; Aplastodiscus perviridis A. Lutz in B. Lutz, 1950.

Bokermannohyla , new genus

TYPE SPECIES: Hyla circumdata Cope , ‘‘1870’’ [1871].

DIAGNOSIS: This genus is diagnosed by 65 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. We are not aware of any morphological synapomorphy.

ETYMOLOGY: This genus is dedicated to Werner Carlos Augusto Bokermann (1929– 1995), as homage to his contribution to the knowledge of Brazilian anurans. He also described several species now included in the new genus. The name derives from Bokermann 1 connecting ­ o 1 Hyla . We are adopting the ending ­ hyla for several of the new genera described here, most of which contain species groups formerly placed in Hyla . The gender is feminine.

COMMENTS: Bokermannohyla includes all species previously allocated in the Hyla circumdata , H. martinsi , and H. pseudopseudis groups. We include tentatively the H. claresignata group pending the inclusion of its species in the analysis, because it was associated to the H. circumdata group by Bokermann (1972) and Jim and Caramaschi (1979). Hyla alvarengai is also included because our analysis shows that Hyla sp. 9 (aff. H. alvarengai ) is nested within this new genus. These species groups should be maintained within Bokermannohyla until their monophyly is rigorously tested.

CONTENTS: Twenty­three species, placed in four species groups.
