%X The genus <em>Scinax</em> encompasses 75 recorded species, making it one of the most abundant within the Hylidae group. <em>Scinax nebulosus</em>, a small terrestrial anuran, is distributed throughout northern South America, between Venezuela, Bol¨ªvia and northeastern Brazil. This study aimed to characterize the advertisement call of two distinct populations of <em>Scinax nebulosus</em> (Spix, 1824) in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Fieldwork was conducted at the Dois Irm<span style="text-wrap:nowrap;">£¿</span>os State Park and the Camocim forest. The advertisement call of this species consists of a single multipulsed note, lasting 0.3 seconds, with an inter-note interval of 0.9 seconds and a dominant frequency of 3.3 kHz. Temporal and spectral parameters of the Northeast Brazilian populations differ from those in the Amazon. The wealth of bioacoustics information from various populations plays a crucial role in propelling comprehensive research in anuran bioacoustics, contributing to advancements and a better understanding of this field.
