Diagnosis. Diagnosed by the following combination of characters: (1) snout-vent length of 26.41–30.45 mm in adult males; (2) snout round in profile and from above; (3) smooth skin on the dorsum, including the arms, legs, and upper eyelids, with only a few small, scattered tubercles; (4) belly and gular region cream-coloured with light grey vermicular spots; (5) advertisement call lasting 0.075 – 0.135 s, with 20 pulses per call, 191.7 pulses/s, and a dominant frequency of 1,378.1–1,722.7 Hz. Comparison with other species: Rupirana kaatinga sp. nov. differs from R. cardosoi by having smooth skin on the dorsum, including the arms, legs, and upper eyelids, with only a few small, scattered tubercles (the dorsum of R. cardosoi , including upper eyelid, is smooth but covered with numerous large, scattered white tubercles) (Figs. 4A, B in Mângia et al. , 2025 ). The advertisement call of R. kaatinga sp. nov. has a shorter average duration (𝑥̅ = 0.103 s ) than R. cardosoi , which has a longer average duration (𝑥̅ = 0.176 s ). Rupirana kaatinga sp. nov. also has a lower average number of pulses per call (20) than R. cardosoi (22.06). Additionally, the calls of R. kaatinga sp. nov. exhibit a higher pulse rate (191.7 pulses per sec) and dominant frequency range (1,378.1–1,722.7 Hz) compared to R. cardosoi (134.6 pulses/s, 960–1,450 Hz) (Fig. 5 and Table 3 in Mângia et al. , 2025 ).
