TABLE 2 in Description of the tadpole of Itapotihyla langsdorffii (Anura: Hylidae)

TABLE 2. Comparison among morphological characteristics of larvae of Aparasphenodon, Itapotihyla, Osteocephalus, and Trachycephalus. Data on number and distribution of papillae rows are compared in Discussion. Data from Trueb and Duellman (1970), Henle (1981), Hero (1990), Jungfer and Schiesari (1995), Prado et al. (2003), Schiesari and Moreira (1996), Schiesari et al. (1996), Wogel et al. (2000, 2006), Zimmerman and Hödl (1983), and present study. Stages follow Gosner (1960). Measurements in mm. Abbreviations: TL = total length; CL = caudal length; ED = Eyes direction; PN = Position of nostrils; TRF = tooth row formula (presence and position of gaps not indicated); UJS = Upper jaw sheath; LJS = Lower jaw sheath; SP = Spiracle; mid = midway between eyes and snout; M­SD = medial to subdextral.
