by Scientists have described a new species of the frog genus Brachycephalus from the forests of the Brazilian state of São Paulo.
Brachycephalus is a genus of miniaturized frogs that live in the forest leaf litter and are most active during daylight.
Commonly known as pumpkin toadlets, these frogs are endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, eastern Brazil, and are spread along almost 1,700 km, from Santa Catarina to southern Bahia states.
Regardless of genus distribution, most species occur in restricted lowlands or mountains areas, where some representatives seem to occupy less than 100 ha of area.
