2. Paludicola (?) mexicana. 
Leiuperus mexicanus, Brocchi, Bull. Soc. Philom. i. p. 184 (1877); Miss. Sc. Mex., Batr. p. 21,

Paludicola (?) mexicana, Bouleng. Batr. Sal. p. 237. 
Hab. Mexico. 
Habit stout, head large and broad. Snout truncated, with angular canthus. 
Tympanum distinct, half the size of the eye. ‘Toes with a rudimentary web at the 
base; two metatarsal tubercles. Brownish, with some dark marbling on the upper 
parts; white beneath, throat speckled with grey. (After Brocchi.) 
TOMODACTYLUS, gen. nov. 
Fingers and toes free, with small truncate dilatations. Vomerine teeth none. 
Tongue entire or indistinctly notched behind. Tympanum distinct. Outer metatarsals 
united. A lumbar gland. Sternum with a bony style. 
These frogs differ by the presence of digital disks from the species described under 
Paludicola, Letuperus, and other generic names: a character which, in my opinion, 
should carry generic distinction. 
1. Tomodactylus amula, sp.n. (Tab. LXIV. fig. C.) 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
General habit rather slender. Snout moderate, with sharp canthus and subvertical 
sides; diameter of the eye a little less than its distance from the end of the snout. 
* Boulenger (Batr. Sal. p. 237) gives ‘‘ Puebla” as the locality where this frog was collected, misunder- 
standing the title of Peters’s paper. Peters merely gives “Puebla” as the address of Hr. Berkenbusch, the 
donor of the collection, expressing his regret that “any notice of the special localities of the species sent is 
wanting.”
