Rediscovery, distribution extension, and geographic distribution map of the Uruguay Harlequin Frog, Pseudis limellum (Cope, 1862) (Anura, Hylidae), in the Brazilian Pampa
he Uruguay Harlequin Frog, Pseudis limellum (Cope, 1862), occurs across northwestern Uruguay, Par-aguay, southeastern to north-central Bolivia, northern Argentina, and throughout the Paraná and Amazon river basins of Brazil. Here, we report the rediscovery of P. limellum in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, 41 years after its first record. In addition, we provide an updated distribution map and document extension of the species’ known range within the Brazilian Pampa biome.
