Redescription of the overlooked basal frog Wealdenbatrachus reveals increased diversity among Early Cretaceous anurans

The anuran Wealdenbatrachus jucarensis Fey, 1988 is represented by several specimens, each consisting of an association of disarticulated bones preserved on slabs from a lignite mine near the village of Uña, Cuenca Province, Spain, from which remains of plants and other vertebrates also have been re...

520 3 |a The anuran Wealdenbatrachus jucarensis Fey, 1988 is represented by several specimens, each consisting of an association of disarticulated bones preserved on slabs from a lignite mine near the village of Uña, Cuenca Province, Spain, from which remains of plants and other vertebrates also have been recovered. The bearing unit, La Huérguina Formation, is estimated to be late Barremian in age. Originally these anuran specimens were considered to represent a crown-group costatan closer to the living Discoglossus than to Alytes or Bombina. Herein we redescribe this material, including some hitherto unknown skeletal elements, such as nasal and atlas, and reinterpreting other elements, such as pterygoid and squamosal. Our observations and comparisons led us to validate this taxon and to present an updated restoration. It is noteworthy that several characters that have been used to ally Wealdenbatrachus with the early Barremian Eodiscoglossus santonjae occur widely in basal frogs, thus probably being plesiomorphic at this phylogenetic level, and contrast sharply with the conditions in living costatans. Available information points to a position of W. jucarensis outside the node that unites crown-group costatans, as a relatively basal taxon within Anura. © 2019  |l eng

536 |a Detalles de la financiación: The authors thankfully acknowledge the contribution of Florian Wiszmann (Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin) for having granted AMB access to the holotype and other specimens of Wealdenbatrachus as well as for providing valuable photographs of the specimens. They also thank Borja Sanchíz (Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid) and Damien Germain (Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris) for the loan of comparative material. Thanks are extended to David Blackburn (University of Florida) and his team, whose CT scanning project made anuran skeletons available through the internet page Morpho Source; this anatomical information was invaluable to make the reconstructions. They are also grateful to the University of Buenos Aires and the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) de Argentina for continuous support. In addition, they thankfully acknowledge the contribution of the Editor, Dr. E. Koutsoukos, and the reviewers Márton Venczel (Ţării Crișulor Museum, Oradea) and David Blackburn for their pertinent comments. Appendix A
