    Abstracts

    Scinax auratus occurs in the Atlantic Rain Forest of northeastern Brazil. It is found inside the forest on outcrop rocks and in open areas along the forest border. The tadpoles are found in temporary ponds. Herein we describe the tadpole of S. auratus and compare it with those of other related species of the genus Scinax. The diagnostic characteristics of the tadpole of S. auratus include aspects of the general colour and forms of the body, tail, third posterior tooth row, and jaw sheaths.
