Dendropsophus branneri is a small treefrog largely distributed throughout the Tropical Atlantic and Caatinga morphoclimatic domains (see Ab'Sáber 1977 for morphoclimatic domains), from northeastern to southeastern Brazil [Lutz 1973, Frost 2014; see Zina et al. 2014 for taxonomic comments on D. minusculus (Rivero, 1971) and D. branneri]. This species is currently placed in the D. microcephalus species group according to Bastos & Pombal (1996) and Faivovich et al. (2005). The D. microcephalus group comprises 36 species (Frost 2014), 14 of which have known tadpoles. Here, we describe the external morphology and color patterns of the previously unknown tadpole of D. branneri.
布兰纳氏树蟾是一种小型树蛙，广泛分布于整个热带大西洋和卡廷加形态气候区（有关形态气候区，见阿卜萨贝尔1977年的研究），从巴西东北部到东南部 [卢茨1973年，弗罗斯特2014年；有关小眼树蟾（里韦罗，1971年）和布兰纳氏树蟾的分类学评论，见齐纳等人2014年的研究]。根据巴斯托斯和庞巴尔（1996年）以及法伊沃维奇等人（2005年）的研究，该物种目前被归入小眼树蟾物种组。小眼树蟾组包含36个物种（弗罗斯特2014年），其中14个物种的蝌蚪已为人所知。在此，我们描述了此前未知的布兰纳氏树蟾蝌蚪的外部形态和颜色模式。
