Salamandra 41 (1 / 2): 3-20, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15535980 Abstract. The advertisement calls of Melanophryniscus montevidensis and M. dorsalis, two red-bellied toads of the M. stelzneri group, are described for the first time. Melanophryniscus dorsalis is endemic to the coastal zone of southern Brazil (southern Santa Catarina and northern Rio Grande do Sul), whereas M. montevidensis has a parapatric distribution in the coastal regions of Uruguay and extreme southern Rio Grande do Sul.
