Abstract

We describe a new species of Adenomera from southwestern Amazonia. The new species corresponds to one of the acoustic patterns and morphotypes from Tambopata National Reserve (Adenomera "Forest Call II"), which was associated with the candidate species identified via molecular data as Adenomera sp. C in the phylogeny of the genus. The new species is distinguished from all congeners, except A. phonotriccus, by a unique advertisement call: Calls are composed of complete pulses, i.e., separated by silent gaps, whereas those of remaining Adenomera species are composed of incomplete pulses (partly fused) or nonpulsed calls. The new species occurs in southeastern Peru and north central Bolivia, with two sympatric records with A. chicomendesi. The taxonomic status of two candidate species (sp. D and sp. T) of the A. andreae clade in southwestern Amazonia still needs to be addressed by the acquisition of additional phenotypic and molecular data.

Funding Information:
Acknowledgments.—Financial support was received through research grants from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP 2013/50741-7) and National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq 306623/2018-8). TRC has received financial support from a postdoctoral fellowship from FAPESP (2017/08489-0). Collecting permits were granted by the Peruvian government (017-2018-SERNANP-JEF; #001-2020-MIN-AGRI-SERFOR/DGGSPFFS-DGSPFS). We are grateful to Explorer’s Inn staff for their logistical support, and especially the local guides for walking the trails along with us during the 2018 field expedition; we thank A.A. Giaretta for research support by making available recording equipment during field expedition; Centro de Estudos de Insetos Sociais (CEIS) provided lab space; M.L. Lyra assisted with DNA sequencing protocols. The following individuals granted access to specimens under their care: A.A. Giaretta (AAG-UFU), F.P. Werneck and A. Silva (INPA-H), N. Pupin (CFBH), L.F. Toledo and K. Rabelo (ZUEC), M. Menin (CZPB-AA), A.L.C. Prudente and F. Sarmento (MPEG), T. Grant and A.S. Benetti (MZUSP), and G.F. Pontes (MCP). The Fonoteca Neotropical Jacques Vielliard (FNJV) and the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (ML) enabled access to Adenomera sound files.
