Abstract

AMPHIBIANS OF ARGENTINEAN MESOPOTAMIA. An update of the amphibian diversity and populations status in the Northeast of Argentina (NEA) is presented. General characteristics and distribution of groups that conform the amphibian fauna of this region is also pointed out. New taxonomic status of some species are mentioned: Bufo schneideri and Scinax granulatus (ex Bufo paracnemis and Scinax eringiophilus). The environmental diversity of this region is correlated with its amphibian richness, with transitional faunas and a considerable number of endemism.
