Phylogeny and Taxonomy of the Rana palmipes Group (Salientia: Ranidae). Hillis, D. M. & de Sá, R. Herpetological Monographs, 2:1--26, 1988.
Paper doi abstract bibtex The Rana palmipes group consists of eight species of frogs distributed from southern México to Perú, Bolivia, and Brasil. The frogs currently recognized as R. maculata and R. palmipes are composites of two and three species, respectively. Frogs previously referred to R. maculata from the Maya Mountains of Belize are described as a new species, R. juliani. The three species previously included under the name R. palmipes comprise the R. palmipes complex: R. palmipes of eastern South America, R. vaillanti of Central America and western South America, and a newly described species, R. bwana, of the Pacific versant of the Huancabamba Depression in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Perú. Morphological variation in the R. palmipes group (R. bwana, R. juliani, R. maculata, R. palmipes, R. sierramadrensis, R. vaillanti, R. vibicaria, and R. warszewitschii) provides information on the phylogeny of the species. The group is easily defined on the basis of morphological and biochemical characters. Within the R. palmipes group, there is a primary dichotomy between the lowland species (R. bwana, R. palmipes, and R. vaillanti) and the montane species (R. juliani, R. maculata, R. sierramadrensis, R. vibicaria, and R. warszewitschii). Within this latter group, the southern Central American species (R. vibicaria and R. warszewitschii) form one clade and the northern Central American species (R. sierramadrensis, R. juliani, and R. maculata) form another clade. Within the northern Central American clade, R. maculata and R. sierramadrensis, which are separated by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, are sister species. Diagnostic keys for both adults and tadpoles are provided for the species groups of Neotropical Rana as well as for the species of the Rana palmipes group.
