Fermiano EC, Silva-Alves VD, Neves MO, Silva-Diogo O, Santos-Filho M, Silva DJ (2021) New records and distribution map of Gold-striped Frog, Lithodytes lineatus (Schneider, 1799) (Anura, Leptodactylidae), in an ecotonal zone in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Lithodytes lineatus (Schneider, 1799) is a small, litter-dwelling frog widely distributed in the Amazon Ecoregion and some transitional areas between the Amazon and Cerrado. Here we report seven new records of this species in a transitional zone between Amazon, Chiquitano Dry Forest and Cerrado ecoregions in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. These are the southernmost records of the species, expanding its distribution in 320 km from the nearest record in Bolivia.
