Sumario:The Uruguay harlequin frog Lysapsus limellum is widely distributed in South America, where it inhabits open flooded savannah, rainforest areas, and floating meadows of large rivers. In these aquatic ecosystems, the species has a prolonged breeding season. Nevertheless, its interspecific interactions are pooly known, with only two predation reports by invertebrates. In this note, we present the first record of L. limellum preyed upon the Striated heron "Socozinho" Butorides striata in the Pantanal Wetland, central Brazil.
