Herein we describe a new species of <em>Pseudopaludicola</em> from the central region of the state of Minas Gerais (southeastern Brazil). This new species is distinguished by the adult morphology, the advertisement call, and molecular data. It is diagnosed mainly by its small size, terminal phalanges knobbed (lack of any expansion of the digital tips), proportionally short hind limbs, and its advertisement call composed of series of two-pulsed notes, emitted at a high repetition rate. In addition, we report the occurrence of the new species in the southern foothills of the Serra do Cipó National Park, at elevations lower than 800 m above sea level (a.s.l). The sister species of this new taxon is <em>P. mineira</em> Lobo, 1994, which occurs in rupestrian grasslands above 1200 m a.s.l. at the Serra do Cipó National Park and in Serra do Cabral, both in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. We also redescribe the advertisement call of <em>P. mineira</em> based on recordings from topotypical males and compare it to calls of related species.}, number={480}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Andrade, Felipe Silva de and Haga, Isabelle Aquemi and Lyra, Mariana Lúcio and Carvalho, Thiago Ribeiro de and Haddad, Célio Fernando Baptista and Giaretta, Ariovaldo Antonio and Toledo, Luís Felipe}, year={2018}, month={Nov.} }
