Etymology: The species epithet, “aulophonus” is a combination of two Greek words paying homage to the Brazilian nickname for the Aplastodiscus: the flute frog. In Ancient Greece, “Aulós” was a wind instrument resembling a flute. “Phono” directly translates to “voice”, appropriately naming the frog “flute voiced”(Marinho et al. 2024). |
