The tadpole of Bokermannohyla lucianae (Napoli & Pimenta 2003) (Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae).

Bokermannohyla lucianae (Napoli & Pimenta 2003) belongs to the Bokermannohyla circumdata species group (Faivovich et al . 2005) that currently contains 19 species: B. ahenea (Napoli & Caramaschi 2004), B. astartea (Bokermann 1967), B. capra Napoli & Pimenta 2009, B. caramaschii (Napoli 2005), B. carvalhoi (Peixoto 1981), B. circumdata (Cope 1871), B. feioi (Napoli & Caramaschi 2004), B. gouveai (Peixoto & Cruz 1992), B. hylax (Heyer 1985), B. ibitipoca (Caramaschi & Feio 1990), B. izecksohni (Jim & Caramaschi 1979), B. lucianae (Napoli & Pimenta 2003), B. luctuosa (Pombal & Haddad 1993), B. nanuzae (Bokermann & Sazima 1973), B. napoli Carvalho, Giaretta & Magrini 2012, B. ravida (Caramaschi, Napoli & Bernades 2001), B. sagarana Leite, Pezzuti & Drummond 2011, B. sazimai (Cardoso & Andrade 1982), B. vulcaniae (Vasconcelos & Giaretta 2005). Although species of this group are usually related to altitudinal riparian environments within the Atlantic Forest biome (Napoli & Pimenta 2009), some species occur near to the sea level (e.g. B. capra and B. lucianae ) (Camurugi et al . 2010, Dias et al . 2011). Until now, tadpoles of 11 species of the B. circumdata species group have been formally described (Gaiga et al. 2013, Mongin & Carvalho-e-Silva 2013). Herein we describe the previously unknown tadpole of B. lucianae and compare it with tadpoles of other species of the group.
