Historically, C. gayi, restricted to the southern temperate wet forests of southern and central Chile, has been considered closely related to other inhabitants of these forests. However, recent phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences from nuclear and/or mitochondrial genes have provided new evolutionary hypotheses, among them the sister-group relationship of the small South American Calyptocephalellidae (Calyptocephalella + Telmatobufo) clade and the larger Myobatrachoidea clade from the Australo-Papuan region, which, in turn, form the clade Australobatrachia. The tadpoles studied herein were collected in natural waterbodies in the summer of 2007 and prepared following the usual techniques for clear and double staining in order to visualize cartilage and bone. Developmental stages were determined according to the Gosner scheme, stages 34 to 43, as well as several juvenile individuals, are represented in the available series. The chondrocranium of C. gayi presents the pattern described in other exotrophic, microphagous larvae, and, in general, the development and metamorphosis of this species show characteristics similar to those known for other neobatrachian taxa. However, the most relevant aspects revealed by the present study may be summarized as follows: 1) the larvae have cutaneous folds in the posteroventral part of the body which protect the hind limbs during early development; 2) ossification of each frontoparietal arises from two centers of ossification, one on the taenia tecti marginalis and another one on the dorso medial wall of the 3.5.g Osteogénesis postcraneana 70 3.5.g.1 Esqueleto axial 70 3.5.g.2 Cintura pectoral y Miembro anterior 85 3.5.g.3 Cintura pélvica y Miembro posterior
