Abstract

The advertisement call of the South Brazilian hylid Hyla ehrhardti is described for the first time. It consists of a long series of single notes with high repetition rates ranging from 204-264 notes/min. The dominant frequency lies between 2.6 and 2.9 kHz. New records for Hyla ehrhardti significantly extend the distribution of this little known species, which was restricted to the State of Santa Catarina, northward, through Parana State up to Sao Paulo State.
