Abstract
The monotypic genus Macrogenioglottus Carvalho include the species M. alipioi, described from Ilhéus, state of Bahia, Brazil (Carvalho, 1946). Its distribution comprises the Atlantic Forest domain (Ab’Sáber, 1967) in the northeastern and southeastern Brazil (Tiburcio et al., 2008). Abravaya and Jackson (1978) described briefly the tadpole of this species. Therefore, a more detailed description of the larval morphology is needed.
