Sympatric occurrence of two species of Pseudopaludicola (Anura: Leptodactylidae) and first record of Pseudopaludicola jaredi Andrade, Magalhães, Nunes-de-Almeida, Veiga-Menoncello, Santana, Garda, Loebmann, Recco-Pimentel, Giaretta & Toledo, 2016 in the state of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil

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
