Abstract
We describe the tadpole and the advertisement call of Physalaemus erythros Caramaschi, Feio & Guimarães-Neto, 2003 from Parque Estadual do Itacolomi, Municipality of Ouro Preto, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Our data are compared with the information available for Physalaemus rupestris, the only species of the Physalaemus deimaticus species group with known tadpole and advertisement calls.References
