Abstract

The genus Hylodes Fitzinger, 1826 currently comprises 24 species of diurnal frogs (Frost 2010), most of them restricted to mountainous rheophilic habitats of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biome ((Nascimento et al. 2001), with exception for Hylodes otavioi, inhabitant of the rocky fields from the riparian forests at the Serra do Cipó (Sazima & Bokermann 1982).
