Abstract

The State of Parana is located in the Atlantic Forest biome and its Anuran diversity has not been sufficiently explored. Our goal was to describe the composition of anuran species in areas of Araucaria Forest in the county of Campo Largo, state of Parana, Brazil. We made the list of species based on field records (32 sampling events) through seasonal sampling in five areas of Campo Largo. We registered 21 species distributed in seven families and the registered richness represents 15% of the species known for the state and 4% of the total anuran richness known for the Atlantic Forest (529 species).
