ResumoA new species of frog, Cycloramphus juimirim, is described from coastal southern Sao Paulo, southeastern Brazil. It is a species of the fuliginosus group, most similar to C. bandeirensis Heyer. FROGS of the leptodactylid genus Cy- cloramphus are restricted to the Brazilian coastal rain forest (Atlantic Forest) and range from eastern to southern Brazil (Heyer, 1983a; Heyer and Maxson, 1983). The genus was monographed by Lutz (1929), Bokermann (1951), and Heyer (1983a); 23 species of Cycloramphus are currently recognized (Heyer, 1983a,b). Heyer and Maxson (1983) analyzed rela- tionships, distribution, and speciation of Cycloramphus, and they stated: Further field studies may uncover new species or more likely additional distributional data will modify the known distribution of the species. As Heyer and Maxson (1983) foresaw, we found an undescribed species of Cycloramphus at Jureia, in the south coastal portion of Sao Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Description style, measurements, and usage of morphological characters fol- low mostly Heyer (1983a). Vocalizations were recorded with Aiwa TP 730 tape re- corder and Aiwa DM-54 dynamic micro- phone at tape speed of 9.5 cm/s. The re- corded tapes were analyzed in a Voice Identification Series 700 sound spectro- graph, with narrow and wide filters. Spec- imens are in MZUSP (Museu de Zoologia,
