Dendropsophus microps is a small frog (less than
30 mm SVL) described by Peters (1872), for
individuals collected in Nova Friburgo, Rio de
Janeiro state, Southeastern Brazil. The species
belongs to the Dendropsophus parviceps group,
which is now composed by 15 species (Faivovich
et al. 2005).
According to Silvano et al. (2003) D. microps
is typically restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic
Forest. The known geographic distribution
reaches from the South of the Bahia state
(Silvano and Pimenta 2001) to the North of
the Rio Grande do Sul state (Kwet and Di-
Bernardo 1999). It is also known to occur in
the states of Minas Gerais (Haddad et al. 2008),
Espírito Santo (Prado and Pombal Jr. 2005),
Rio de Janeiro (Santos et al. 1998; Carvalho-e-
Silva and Izeckshon 2001), Paraná (Conte
and Rossa-Feres 2006, 2007) and Santa
Catarina (Deiques et al. 2007; Woehl Jr. and
Woehl 2008).
