Popis:	Proceratophrys carranca Godinho, Moura, Lacerda & Feio, 2013 belongs to the P . cristiceps group, which currently contains 15 species (Brandao et al . 2013). This group is defined by species lacking palpebral appendages, postocular swellings and inhabiting mainly seasonally dry open environments (Cerrado and Caatinga domains) in Brazil (Giaretta et al . 2000). Using molecular data, Amaro et al . (2009) showed the non-monophyletic status of the P . cristiceps group. These authors emphasize that more studies are needed for to understand the taxonomy of the genus Proceratophrys . Larval characters are important tools that make a significant contribution to the resolution of taxonomic problems.
