Abstract
Boana caiapo is a hylid treefrog with occurrence in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Pará and Tocantins. We update on B. caiapo distribution for Mato Grosso state, Brazilian Cerrado (Neotropical Savana). The record extends its known distribution in approximately 330 km Northwest from the type locality (Aragarças municipality, Goiás) and 263 km Northwest from the nearest known locality (Cocalinho municipality, Mato Grosso state). All localities belong to the Tocantins-Araguaia River basin, reinforcing the restricted distribution of this species. Studies that related new records of species are important to direct conservation proposals.
