Resumo
We here report on the frogs occurring in seven insular granitic caves in the Municipality of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil, located in theAtlantic Forest biome. We encountered adults of Bokermannohyla hylax, Ischnocnema manezinho, Leptodactylus cf. paranaru, Rhinella cf. ornata, and Scinax catharinae, of which. The most common species was I. manezinho, endemic to Florianópolis and classified as Near Threatened and Vulnerable on the endangered species lists of Santa Catarina State and Brazil. Our findings indicate that caves may be important refuges for frogs.
