Abstract in Portuguese
O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a variação morfológica do grupo Bufo granulosus, procurando determinar suas unidades evolutivas. Esse grupo, como concebido até o presente, é comporto por 6 espécies (Bufo granulosus, Bufo bergi, Bufo dorbignyi, Bufo fernandezae, Bufo pygmaeus e Bufo beebei), e 10 subespécies de Bufo granulosus (merianae, nattereri, mini, major, barbouri, lutzi, mirandaribeiroi, azarai, humboldti, goeldii). A distribuição geográfica do grupo é bastante ampla e associada a formações abertas, compreendendo a América Central (Panamá) e quase todos os países da América do Sul, com exceção do Chile e do Equador. Foram analisados cerca de 8700 exemplares depositados em diversas coleções nacionais e estrangeiras de cerca de 880 localidades distintas. Caracteres apontados nas descrições das subespécies do grupo e outros, levantados no decorrer no trabalho, foram conferidos com base no estudo de séries de exemplares, comparados por localidade. Foram tomadas medidas de 23 caracteres morfométricos em 2267 indivíduos, utilizados em uma análise estatística multivariada, juntamente com 9 proporções corporais escolhidas como forma de caracterizar os táxons do grupo granulosus. Caracteres osteológicos e miológicos também foram estudados, e foi realizada uma análise das vocalizações (canto de anúncio) disponíveis para o grupo. São reconhecidas 12 espécies para o grupo granulosus: Bufo granulosus (Sudeste e Nordeste do Brasil); Bufo pygmaeus (Rio de Janeiro); Bufo azarai (Argentina, Paraguai e Mato Grosso do Sul); Bufo mirandaribeiroi (Brasil Central); Bufo major (Argentina, Bolívia, Paraguai e Amazônia, Brasil); Bufo fernandezae (Sul do Brasil, Argentina, Uruguai); Bufo dorbignyi (Sul do Brasil, Argentina, Uruguai); Bufo bergi (Argentina, Paraguai, Mato Grosso do Sul); Bufo nattereri (Roraima); Bufo humboldti (Colômbia, Venezuela, Guiana, Suriname); Bufo merianae (Amazônia, Venezuela, Guiana, Suriname); Bufo sp.n. (Panamá).

Abstract in English
The Bufo species of the granulosus group are taxonomically reviewed in order to determine their evolutionary units. The granulosus group is composed by 6 species (Bufo granulosus, Bufo bergi, Bufo dorbignyi, Bufo fernandezae, Bufo pygmaeus and B. beebei), and 10 subspecies of Bufo granulosus (merianae, nattereri, mini, major, barbouri, lutzi, mirandaribeiroi, azarai, humboldti, goeldii). The group presents a wide geographical distribution, occurring in Central America (Panama) and in almost all the countries of South America, except for Chile and Ecuador. A total of 8700 specimens deposited in several national and foreign collections were studied representing about 880 different localities. External morphological caracters currently cited in the literature, and others, chosen at the beginning of the work, were compared within the sample series for each locality. Measurements of 23 morphometric characters were taken on 2267 specimens, and were used in an multivariate statistical analysis along with 9 body ratios chosen as a form of characterizing the taxa of the group. Osteological and miological caracters were also analyzed within the taxa, and an analysis of the vocalization (advertisement call) was performed with the available recordings for the group. Twelve species are recognized for the granulosus group, and one is new: Bufo granulosus (Southeast and Northeast Brazil); Bufo pygmaeus (Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil); Bufo azarai (Argentina, Paraguay and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil); Bufo mirandaribeiroi (Central Brazillian Savannas); Bufo major (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Amazonia, Brazil); Bufo fernandezae (South Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay); Bufo dorbignyi (South Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay); Bufo bergi (Argentina, Paraguay and Mato Grosso do Sul); Bufo nattereri (Roraima State, Brazil); Bufo humboldti (Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam); Bufo merianae (Amazonia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam); Bufo sp. n. (Panama).
