The Neotropical genus Scinax Wagler currently comprises 127 species of small treefrogs distributed from southern Mexico to Argentina and Uruguay, including some islands such as Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Lucia (Frost 2020). Two major clades are recognized within Scinax, the S. catharinae and the S. ruber clades. The former is composed of two species groups, the S. catharinae and the S. perpusillus groups (Faivovich 2002; Faivovich et al. 2005). The S. perpusillus species group currently comprises 13 species: S. alcatraz (Lutz); S. arduous Peixoto; S. atratus (Peixoto); S. belloni Faivovich, Gasparini Haddad; S. cosenzai Lacerda, Peixoto Feio; S. faivovichi Brasileiro, Oyamaguchi Haddad; S. insperatus Silva Alves-Silva; S. littoreus (Peixoto); S. melloi (Peixoto), S. peixotoi Brasileiro, Haddad, Sawaya Martins; S. perpusillus (Lutz Lutz); S. tupinamba Silva Alves-Silva; and S. v-signatus (Lutz). These species are endemic of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and are recognized by their intimate association with bromeliads (Fig. 1), in which adults breed and lay their eggs, and tadpoles develop (Peixoto 1987, 1995; Alves-Silva Silva 2009).
瓦格纳南美树蛙属目前包含 127 种分布于从墨西哥南部到阿根廷和乌拉圭的小树蛙，包括特立尼达和多巴哥、圣卢西亚等一些岛屿（Frost 2020）。在瓦格纳南美树蛙属内有两个主要的进化枝，即 S. catharinae 和 S. ruber 进化枝。前者由两个物种群组成，即 S. catharinae 和 S. perpusillus 物种群（Faivovich 2002；Faivovich 等人，2005）。S. perpusillus 物种群目前包含 13 个物种：S. alcatraz（Lutz）；S. arduous Peixoto；S. atratus（Peixoto）；S. belloni Faivovich，Gasparini Haddad；S. cosenzai Lacerda，Peixoto Feio；S. faivovichi Brasileiro，Oyamaguchi Haddad；S. insperatus Silva Alves-Silva；S. littoreus（Peixoto）；S. melloi（Peixoto），S. peixotoi Brasileiro，Haddad，Sawaya Martins；S. perpusillus（Lutz Lutz）；S. tupinamba Silva Alves-Silva；和 S. v-signatus（Lutz）。这些物种是巴西大西洋森林的特有种，其与凤梨科植物的密切关系而被识别（图 1），成体在凤梨科植物中繁殖和产卵，蝌蚪在其中发育（Peixoto 1987，1995；Alves-Silva Silva 2009）。
