Resumen

Reportamos por primera vez un canto de anuncio de Craugastor mimus, el cual consiste en una nota tonal corta y débil, sin frecuencia modulada, similar a un sonido “pip”, emitida cada cuatro a nueve segundos. El reporte de este canto en C. mimus confirma que, en Costa Rica, todas las especies de la serie C. laticeps son capaces de producir vocalizaciones, a pesar de la ausencia de sacos y hendiduras vocales.
