The tadpoles of the Southern Crested Toad, Peltophryne guentheri (Anura: Bufonidae), from Hispaniola

Abstract

We collected 45 tadpoles of P. guentheri on 7 June 2012 in the Río Gurabo, Santiago Rodríguez Province. Some larvae were reared until metamorphosis to confirm species identity. Herein we describe the tadpoles from this single locality, provide some ecological information and compare them with those of other species in the genus Peltophryne.
