Abstract

Until now, Proceratophrys sanctaritae Cruz & Napoli, 2010 has only been known from its type locality, Serra do Timbó, municipality of Amargosa, Bahia, Brazil. Due to its restricted geographic range, this species is considered Critically Endangered. We report new records of P. sanctaritae in Bahia and update its geographic distribution. Although the geographic range of P. sanctaritae is significantly expanded with our new data, the mountainous forest habitat of this species is highly susceptible to human modification, and P. sanctaritae is still likely threatened under IUCN criteria.
