Introduction The genus Phyllomedusa contains 32 species distributed from Panama, through northern Argentina and Uruguay (Caramaschi and Cruz, 2002; Frost, 2008). Among Amazonian species, many are widely distributed, and all have a green dorsum in life and are mainly arboreal (Duellman, 1974; Duellman, Cadle and Cannatella, 1988; Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994). One remarkable exception is Phyllomedusa atelopoides (Figs. 1-3), which is terrestrial and has a purplish brown dorsum (Duellman, 2005; Duellman et al., 1988; Block, Mooney and Wild, 2002). Phyllomedusa atelopoides was described from two localities in the Departamento Madre de Dios, Peru (Duellman et al., 1988). Rodríguez and Duellman (1994) reported the species from the Iquitos region, in Departamento de Loreto, northern Peru, and Cocroft, Morales and McDiarmid (2001) recorded it at Tambopata, Departamento de Madre de Dios, Peru (Fig. 4). Azevedo-Ramos and Galatti (2002) and Souza (2003) reported the species for the state of Acre, Brazil. De la Riva et al. (2000) and Köhler (2000) noted that the species was expected to occur in Amazonian Bolivia, but no specimens were known from that country, even though the Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA) included Bolivia in an estimated range map (IUCN, Conservation International and NatureServe, 2008). Materials and Methods On 14 August 2008, during the sampling expedition at the Base Operacional Geólogo Pedro de Moura (BOGPM), located at the Urucu Petrol Basin, Municipality of Coari, state of Amazonas, Brazil (4 o 52’31” S and 65 o 15’05” W; Fig. 4) an adult specimen of Phyllomedusa atelopoides was collected (collectors: G.F. Ma- schio, F.S. Rodrigues and R. Rodrigues) (Figs. 2, 3). The frog was sitting on the leaf litter in primary forest at about 21:30 h. This specimen is deposited at Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém, Pará, Brazil (MPEG 26381). Morphologically, the specimen from the Urucu Basin agrees with the original description, and is readily identiiable by its lar- ge tympanum (66.7% of the diameter of the eye; Fig. 3B), irst subarticular tubercle on toe IV large (Fig. 3D), hind limbs rela- tively short, dorsum purplish brown with scattered metallic green lecks (Fig. 2A), and absence of color pattern on the anterior sur- faces of the thighs. Measurements (in mm) are: snout-vent length (41.0), head length (15.8), head width (15.1), interorbital distance (5.9), eye diameter (4.2), tympanum diameter (2.8), thigh length (17.4), tibia length (16.1), and foot length (12.6). We surveyed 23 herpetological collections for additional re- cords of P. atelopoides. The institutions browsed were: Brazil: Amphibian collection Célio F. B.

The genus Phyllomedusa contains 32 species widespread in the Neotropics. Many species have a broad range, but Phyllomedusa atelopoides is apparently an exception. We found Phyllomedusa atelopoides in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Herein, based on museum and literature records, we also provide new records of the species for Peru, an updated distribution map, and discussion of its range. Keywords.
