SCINAX GRANULATUS (NCN). ARGENTINA: BUENOS AIRES: Partido de General Pueyrredon. Sierra de Los Padres (37° 56' 25"S 57 °47' 41" W). 24 July 2010. L. E.Vega & P. J.Bellagamba. Verified by J. Faivovich. Herpetological Collection of Laboratorio Vertebrados, Departamento de Biología, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMdP 1809, UNMdP 1810). Two adult individuals were captured under rocks in the ridge of mountains of Sierra de los Padres of the Tandilia Mountain Range System. Another five individuals were detected inactive in similar microhabitats (under rocks). Barrasso and Cajade (Barraso, D. and R. Cajade. 2007. Geographic distribution: Scinax granulatus. Herpetol. Rev. 38: 1) pointed out that Gallardo mentioned two specimens from Sierra de la Ventana, but such citation is not supported by voucher specimens, therefore this is the first documentation of this frog inhabiting mountain environments at 170 MASL. Present record extends the distribution of this frog 120 km to the SW from nearest known locality in Partido de General Madariaga in the Buenos Aires province (Barraso and Cajade, op. cit.) and it is the first citation for the county and the southernmost record known for this species.
