Molecular and morphological data reveal three new cryptic species of (Mehely 1904) (Anura, Microhylidae) endemic to the Atlantic Forest, Brazil.

Three new cryptic species of from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil are described. Two of these species occur in the northeastern states of Sergipe and Bahia, whereas the third species is found in the southeastern state of São Paulo. The new species can be distinguished from other congeneric species by the molecular data, as evidenced in the phylogeny, and by a combination of morphological characters including: size, foot webbing, dermal spines, and coloration patterns. species differ in osteological traits, therefore we also provide an osteological description of each new species and comparsions with data reported for other species in the genus.
