Lithobates magnaocularis Frost & Bagnara, 1974, the Northwest Mexico Leopard Frog (Anura: Ranidae): new state records for Aguascalientes and Zacatecas, Mexico

We report an adult female and subadult specimen of the frog Lithobates magnaocularis Frost & Bagnara, 1974 from tropical deciduous forest habitat in the Municipality of Calvillo, Aguascalientes and Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico. These vouchers represent the first state records of L. magnaocularis for Aguascalientes and Zacatecas, and extend the known distribution of the species through the northeastern portion of the tributaries of the Rio Grande de Santiago basin.
