Cover illustration. Frogs of the neotropical genus Proceratophrys , which currently comprises 39 species, are distributed in several terrestrial habitats in the Amazonian Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampas, and Atlantic Forest. Material is rare, morphological analyses even rarer. The cover image shows a cleared and stained specimen of the chondrocranium and branchial basket of a tadpole stage 31 of Proceratophrys minuta . In this issue of the Journal of Morphology, Pedro Henrique dos Santos Dias (pp. 1086–1097) describes the buccopharyngeal cavity, chondrocranium, and muscles of the tadpole of P. minuta and reports a new remarkable myological character state for the species.
