Here, we document the sympatric occurrence of Pseudopaludicola canga and P. jaredi. We also provide the first record of P. jaredi in the state of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil, expanding this species’ distribution by about 610 km southwestward from Serra das Flores, municipality of Viçosa do Ceará, state of Ceará. Furthermore, we fill the gap in the geographic distribution range of P. canga in the state of Maranhão, extending the distribution of this species by about 530 km southwestward from the municipality of Barreirinhas. © 2016 Check List and Authors.126001/2013FAPEMA, FAPEMA, Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do MaranhãoBD-01163/13, FAPEMA, Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Maranhã
