The known diversity of treefrogs of the genus has rapidly increased in recent years, currently comprising 14 species. Recent field work in the Atlantic Rainforest of the state of Bahia lead to the discovery of a new large species of which is herein described based on multiple evidence including morphological, acoustical and genetic data. sp. nov. is one of the largest species within the genus and presents immaculate yellowish dorsum and limbs. The advertisement call of the species is composed of 7-31 notes (half pulsed/pulsatile-half harmonic) with frequency-modulated harmonics. sp. nov. has a karyotype of 2 = 22 chromosomes, as also found in other species of the genus. Genetic distance values of the 16S mitochondrial rRNA among sp. nov. and its congeners range between 6.4 to 10.2%. The description of another new species for this state reinforces the need for further taxonomic work with in this region that has been revealed as a priority area for research and conservation of this genus.
近年来，该属树蛙已知的多样性迅速增加，目前包括14个物种。最近在巴伊亚州大西洋雨林的野外工作发现了一种新的大型树蛙，本文基于包括形态学、声学和遗传学数据在内的多方面证据对其进行了描述。新物种是该属中最大的物种之一，其背部和四肢呈现出纯净的淡黄色。该物种的求偶鸣叫由7至31个音符组成（半脉冲/脉动-半谐波），带有调频谐波。新物种的核型为2n = 22条染色体，在该属的其他物种中也有发现。新物种与其同属物种之间16S线粒体rRNA的遗传距离值在6.4%至10.2%之间。该州另一个新物种的描述强化了在该地区对该属进行进一步分类学研究的必要性，该地区已被揭示为该属研究和保护的优先区域。
