We describe a new species of the Scinax catharinae group from coastal forest in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. We alsodescribe the karyotype and the advertisement call of the new species, which is composed by a multipulsed note. The chromosomemorphology of the new species shows the nucleolar organizer region (NOR) on Pair 6, a putative synapomorphypreviously inferred for the S. catharinae clade. We report, for the first time, the presence of mental glands in a species ofthe genus Scinax. Additionally, we provide a brief discussion about the occurrence of glandular tissue on the mental andinguinal regions of the species of the S. catharinae clade.
