Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae, Itapotihyla langsdorffii (Duméril and Bibron, 1841): correction of older record and distribution extention

Itapotihyla langsdorffii (Duméril & Bibron, 1841) (Figure 1) occurs in South America in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest from the state of Sergipe (Arzabe and Loebmann 2006) to the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Lingnau et al. 2006). At the state of Minas Gerais, this species was first registered at Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (19°48' – 19°29'S, 42°38' – 42°28'W, 236-515 m above sea level) (Feio et al. 1998; 1999) The most inland distribution report of I. langsdorffii at state of Minas Gerais is at municipality of Rio Novo (21°31'23"S, 43°11'01"W, 400 m above sea level) (Feio and Ferreira 2005) (Figure 2). However, after verifying the geographical coordinates for the older records where I. langsdorffii was found, the coordinates of municipality of Rio Novo actually pertain to municipality of Goianá, state of Minas Gerais (IBGE 2003). Itapotihyla langsdorffii was considered vulnerable in the Red List of Endangered Species of the state of Minas Gerais (Machado et al. 1998). In the revision for this list (Machado et al. 2005), it was not considered threatened, but there is still few information about its occurrence in the state. Herein we report a new distribution record for I. langsdorffii in Minas Gerais (Figure 2).
