Abstract

New records of Elachistocleis piauiensis, a poorly known species of microhylid, from São Luís, State of Maranhão, allowed us to record the advertisement call. The advertisement call consists of a single periodic pulse train with harmonic structure. The new geographic record extends the known distribution by about 290 km West of Parnaíba, State of Piauí. We also comment on the post-commissural gland distribution in the genus Elachistocleis.
