We report the first record of Trachycephalus typhonius for the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, based on individuals found in the municipalities of Roque Gonzales and Salvador das MissÕes. The original vegetation of these municipalities is characterized as Mesophytic Semideciduous Forest (Atlantic Domain), currently replaced by agricultural activities and urbanization. This record expands the geographical distribution area of this species by approximately 270 km from the nearest known locality, Iguazú, Misiones province, Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present the first record of Leptophis ahaetulla for the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Between November and December 2014, and February 2015, three specimens were found, respectively: one male dead on a highway at the Parque Estadual do Espinilho, a conservation unit located at the municipality of Barra do Quaraí; and two females collected in an anthropic landscape of Salso farm at the municipality of Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Meristic data and coloration enables the identification of these specimens as Leptophis ahaetulla marginatus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article offers information on the geographic distribution of amphibia, anura, microhylidae Chiasmocleis albopunctata in São Paulo, Brazil. It highlights the field survey conducted in the municipalities of the state, aiming to fill data on the distribution gaps of the species. Particularly, the study investigates the occurrence and characteristics of C. albopunctata that were collected in artificial ponds and forest fragments. It also explores the association of habitat collection on the presence of forest fragments, which might impacted the distribution of C. albopunctata. Furthermore, the authors conclude that the existence of the species in the state had proven the species distribution even on well sampled places.
