We report a range extension and new country record for Scarthyla vigilans in Trinidad, West Indies. The species\udwas previously known only from populations on mainland South America. We include notes on behavior, habitat and tadpole\uddevelopment, and discuss the biogeographical significance of the species’ presence in Trinidad, particularly with respect to\udconsequences for understanding colonization events on this Caribbean island.
