Although we celebrate the centennial of Brachycephalus garbeanus' discovery, little progress has been done on understanding this species' biology apart from a few morphological and ecological studies, which includes its redescription based on three specimens from the type-series, microhabitat use, sexual dimorphism in body size, and feeding habits. This species is endemic to the Serra dos Órgãos Mountain range, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. Here we redescribe B.

- A new phylogenetic hypothesis for the Ischnocnema genus of frogs was established using various genetic analyses of over 80% of described species.
- The study found Ischnocnema nanahallux outside of the existing classification series and proposed a new species series for several species, including two newly described ones.
- The research highlighted the significance of the male nuptial pad as a distinguishing feature for the group, suggesting it as a shared characteristic among specific clades within the genus.
