Hylodes vanzolinii is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. [3]
H. vanzolinii is endemic to Brazil and only known from its type locality, Caparaó National Park in the Minas Gerais state. [4]
The natural habitat of H. vanzolinii is open high-altitude grassland near streams.
The main threats to H. vanzolinii are habitat loss, caused by fires, and tourism. [1]
The specific name vanzolinii honors Paulo Vanzolini, a Brazilian herpetologist and composer. [2] [5]
Paulo Emilio Vanzolini was a Brazilian scientist and music composer. He was best known for his samba compositions, including the famous "Ronda", "Volta por Cima", and "Boca da Noite", and for his scientific works in herpetology. He is considered one of the greatest samba composers from São Paulo. Until his death, he still conducted research at the University of São Paulo (USP).
Ranitomeya vanzolinii, also known as the Brazilian poison frog or spotted poison frog, is a species of frog in the Ranitomeya genus, from the poison dart frog family, Dendrobatidae. It is found in the Amazonian rainforests of Brazil and Perú, and possibly Bolivia.
