Resumo

This note reports the presence of Phyllomedusa azurea Cope, 1862 in municipality of Água Doce, state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil, extending ca. 690 Km to the south the known distribution of this species. If we consider the wide distribution of P. azurea and the morphologic differences between specimens from northern and southern populations, it is possible that it could be in reality a species complex.
