}}Megaelosia goeldii is a species of frog in the family Hylodidae. It is endemic to Southeast Brazil and occurs in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states.[1][3] It is named after Émil Goeldi, a Swiss zoologist who worked in Brazil.

Description

Males measure {{convert|82|-|95|mm|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|85|-|97|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length (based on 2 males and 3 females only). The dorsolateral skin is granular. The snout is subacuminate in dorsal view and protruding in profile. The canthus rostralis is evident and straight. Males have neither vocal sacs nor vocal slits.[5]

Diet

Stomach contents have been found to contain insects (cockroaches, Coleoptera, lepidopteran caterpillars), earthworms, and plant material. In experiments, Megaelosia goeldii have consumed other frogs.[5]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitats are rivers in primary forest. During the day, they can be found on emergent rocks in shallow places. Tadpoles have been collected under large rocks in a moderate-sized forest stream.[1]

Megaelosia goeldii is a common species, but very difficult to catch. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by forest clearance and infrastructure development, and by pollution.[1]
