• Advertisement call
• Cerrado savanna
• Hypsiboas albopunctatus group
• Hypsiboas paranaiba sp n.
• State of Minas Gerais

We describe a new species based on two populations, from the State of Minas Gerais, using advertisement call and morphological data as diagnostic characters. Hypsiboas paranaiba sp. n. is distinguished from the large-sized species of the group by the absence of a white stripe on upper (H. lanciformis) or upper and lower lips (H. leucocheilus); from H. albopunctatus by the absence of distinct light spots on outer thighs and inguinal region; and from H. multifasciatus by reaching a smaller maximum size and presenting a head as long as wide. The new species occurs in the Cerrado biome of southeastern Brazil in the State of Minas Gerais, and central Brazil in the State of Goias, whereas H. multifasciatus is restricted to the Amazon Forest domain, and possibly to forest domains in northeastern Brazil.
