Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 currently comprises 40 species (Frost 2017) of which 15 are allocated into the Proceratophrys cristiceps species group (sensu Brandão et al. 2013). The species in this group are characterized by the absence of postocular swellings and, except for P. concavitympanum, are found in seasonally open habitats in Brazilian Cerrado and Caatinga morphoclimatic domains (Giaretta et al. 2000; Ávila et al. 2012; Teixeira Jr. et al. 2012; Brandão et al. 2013). Information on advertisement calls is available for 11 species of the group (Eterovick Sazima 1998; Nunes Juncá 2006; Brasileiro et al. 2008; Santana et al. 2010; Ávila et al. 2012; Martins Giaretta 2011; 2012; 2013; Ferreira et al. 2016). Proceratophrys branti Brandão, Carmaschi, Vaz-Silva Campos, 2013 has been recently described and allocated in the P. cristiceps species group. The species occurs in open areas in the north-central portion of the Brazilian Cerrado, in the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais and Tocantins (Brandão et al. 2013). Herein we describe for the first time its advertisement call, based on recordings made in an area of Cerrado biome in the state of Tocantins.
1920年命名的前角蟾属(Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro)目前包含40个物种(弗罗斯特,2017年),其中15个被归入饰头前角蟾物种组(依据布兰当等人,2013年的分类)。该组物种的特征是没有眼后肿胀,除了凹鼓膜前角蟾外,都分布在巴西塞拉多和卡廷加形态气候区的季节性开阔栖息地(贾雷塔等人,2000年;阿维拉等人,2012年;小特谢拉等人,2012年;布兰当等人,2013年)。关于该组11个物种的求偶鸣叫信息已有报道(埃特罗维克和萨齐马,1998年;努内斯·容卡,2006年;巴西莱罗等人,2008年;桑塔纳等人,2010年;阿维拉等人,2012年;马丁斯和贾雷塔,2011年、2012年、2013年;费雷拉等人,2016年)。布兰氏前角蟾(Proceratophrys branti Brandão, Carmaschi, Vaz-Silva & Campos, 2013)是最近描述并归入饰头前角蟾物种组的物种。该物种分布在巴西塞拉多中北部的开阔地区,位于戈亚斯州、米纳斯吉拉斯州和托坎廷斯州(布兰当等人,2013年)。在此,我们根据在托坎廷斯州塞拉多生物群落一个区域的录音,首次描述了它求偶鸣叫的情况。
