Geographic distribution.

One of the six species of the roseus group considered endemic to Chile, which currently presents a restricted distribution according to Suárez-Villota et al. (2018b). Its distribution range covers a narrow strip of the Coastal Range between 35°28' and 36°27'S ( Ibarra-Vidal et al. 2004, Núñez and Gálvez 2015). Here we included a record omitted by Correa et al. (2017) (locality 1 of Fig. 3 and Appendix 1) that extends its distribution range almost 45 km to the north ( Núñez and Gálvez 2015). Currently, this record constitutes the northern limit of the genus, which was incorporated in the new map of the IUCN (2019) as part of E. roseus (as well as all localities attributed to E. septentrionalis ).

Figures

Figure 3. Compilation of localities of Eupsophus species gathered from the literature (see the complete list of localities in Appendix 1). Multicolored circles and the star indicate localities where two or three species of the same group have been reported in the same or different sources. White circles indicate the localities where two undescribed species have been identified (Villarrica and Tolhuaca), two undetermined populations included in this study (Fig. 4) and several ones considered by Correa et al. (2017) as E. roseus, whose taxonomic status is uncertain according to the current taxonomy (Suarez-Villota et al. 2018 b). Thin gray lines within Chile represent boundaries of Administrative Regions.
