The Terra Ronca State Park is located in the Cerrado biome. Knowledge on the biology and diversity of Cerrado amphibian assemblages is still incipient. The aim of the present research is to subsidize further studies on anuran composition and conservation of the Brazilian savanna by means of a detailed inventory of anurans from the Terra Ronca State Park. Twenty two species in five families were collected: Bufonidae, Cycloramphidae, Hylidae, Leiuperidae and Leptodactylidae. The most abundant family was Hylidae, with 12 species. Compared to other areas of Cerrado, the region explored in this study showed a high rate in relation to the diversity of amphibians. The goal of this research is to improve the knowledge of the biodiversity of the Brazilian Cerrado in order to better preserve such species.
