Abstract

The microhylid frog Stereocyclops incrassatus occurs in humid forests of the eastern coast of Brazil south of the São Francisco River, in the states of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Bahia. The present work reports this species in three Atlantic Rainforest fragments located in states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, thus expanding the known distribution of Stereocyclops incrassatus ca. 1000 km northwards.
