Despite extensive research on biodiversity in Neotropical forests, biodiversity in seasonally dry, open biomes in South America has been underestimated until recently. We leverage a widespread group,Boana albopunctata, to uncover cryptic lineages and investigate the timing of diversification in Neotropical anurans with a focus on dry diagonal biomes (Cerrado, Caatinga and Chaco) and the ecotone between Amazonia and the Cerrado. We inferred a multilocus phylogeny of theB. albopunctataspecies group that includes 15 of 18 described species, recovered two cryptic species, and reconstructed the timing of diversification among species distributed across multiple South American biomes. One new potential species (B.aff.steinbachi), sampled in the Amazonian state of Acre, clustered within theB. calcara-fasciataspecies complex and is close toB. steinbachi. A second putative new species (B. aff.multifasciata), sampled in the Amazonia-Cerrado ecotone, is closely related toB. multifasciata. Lastly, we place a recently identified Cerrado lineage (B.aff.albopuncata) into theB. albopunctataspecies group phylogeny for the first time. Our ancestral range reconstruction showed that species in theB. albopuctatagroup likely dispersed from Amazonia-Cerrado into the dry-diagonal and Atlantic Forest. Intraspecies demography showed, for bothB. ranicepsandB. albopunctata, signs of rapid expansion across the dry diagonal. Similarly, for one clade ofB. multifasciata, our analyses support an invasion of the Cerrado from Amazonia, followed by a rapid expansion across the open diagonal biomes. Thus, our study recovers several recent divergences along the Amazonia-Cerrado ecotone in northern Brazil. Tectonic uplift and erosion in the late Miocene and climate oscillations in the Pleistocene corresponded with estimated divergence times in the dry diagonal and Amazonia-Cerrado ecotone. Our study highlights the importance of these threatened open formations in the generation of biodiversity in the Neotropics.
