Tadpole of Gastrophryne elegans (Boulenger, 1882) from the rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, described for the first time. The region of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico, is one of the most studied tropical areas in the country, but highly threatened by the conversion of rainforest to agricultural landscapes.
In this region, G. elegansis considered a common species, but difficult to observe after the first heavy rain of the year due to its fossorial habit (Vogt et al. 1997). In this study a description of the G. elegans tadpole is presented. The description based on individuals collected from a pool in a temporary stream that flows to Laguna zacatal, San Andres tuxtla, Veracruz.
