Oral disk and bucopharyngeal cavity of Scinax acuminatus iarvae were analyzed usmg the Scaning Electron Microscopy (SEM). This Iarvae share. with others hylidos, similars structures: dental formule, buccal papillae, infralabial spur, few buccal roof and buccal floor papillae, zero lingual papillae, exposed glottis, dense gill filters. S. acuminatus is characterized by keratodonts morphology. This Work presents additionals diagnostic characters for systematic study of this tadpole.
