After more than ten years of fieldworks in southern Bahia registering an enigmatic vocalization we were finally able to identify the source of it. The calls were emitted by Paracycloptera grandifolia , a katydid belonging to the Tettigoniidae. Its call lasts between 0.5 - 1.3 seconds and consists of 7 - 8 groups of pulses. The dominant frequency lies at 3 kHz.

Advertisement calls can be used to aid solving taxonomic problems and understanding the evolution of certain groups. In this study, the advertisement call of Eleutherodactylus bilineatus is described. It is composed by two different notes with a total duration of 0.529\–4.241 seconds and dominant frequency of 1.72\–3.45 kHz. Additionally, new data is provided on the geographical distribution of Eleutherodactylus bilineatus and the most inland record for this species.

We describe a new species of Phyllodytes from Ilh\éus (15\º04\’S, 39\º03\’W; 95 m above sea level), south of state of Bahia, in the northeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Phyllodytes megatympanum sp. nov. is diagnosable by the following combination of characters: (1) dorsum of body, arms, and legs uniformly light brown; (2) groin yellow; (3) snout pointed in dorsal view, protruding in profile; (4) tympanum large with a round distinct tympanic annulus; (5) adult males with two anterior large odontoids followed by a series of smaller odontoids on each side of the mandible; (6) well-developed tubercle near tibio-tarsal joint; (7) advertisement call composed of a series of 12 to 19 unpulsed notes, with harmonic structure and (8) mean dominant frequency of 3.98 kHz.
