New Species Of Proceratophrys (anura: Leptodactylidae) From Southeastern Brazil

Proceratophrys cururu, a species superficially similar to P. cristiceps and P. goyana, is described as new from the Serra do Cipo, Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. The new species differs from both P. cristiceps and P. goyana by its more contrasting dorsal color pattern, larger and more heterogeneous dorsal tubercles, dorsal tubercular rows interrupted in the sacral region, and two to three large tubercles in the suprascapular region.1159164Altig, R., A key to the tadpoles of the continental United States and Canada (1970) Herpetologica, 26, pp. 180-207Braun, P.C., Nova espécie do gênero Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (Anura, Ceratophrynidae) (1973) Iheringia, Ser.
