Hab. 1 Mexico, north of Vera Cruz (Dugés); Costa Rica, Pico Blanco and Buenos 
Aires (Cope), La Palma and Cartago (Underwood), ¢ Irazu * (Rogers). 
Closely allied to H. sallai, but without granulations on the abdomen. Form of the 
body and bead as in H. sallei. Tympanum barely one-half the area of the eye (in 
females). Vomerine teeth and folds of the skin as in H. sallei. Disks of the fingers 
and toes very small; first and second fingers equal in length. Two small metatarsal 
tubercles ; the subarticular tubercles are not continued on the metatarsals; no tarsal 
fold. The length of the body is nearly equal to the distance between vent and heel. 
Coloration variable, some specimens coloured as H. sallwi, others more uniformly dark 
with the ornamental markings indistinct; sometimes uniform brownish-slate-coloured, 
with a broad white longitudinal band on each side, running from the eye to the groin.

parts with numerous tubercles and folds; of the latter, a pair of curved )(-like 
folds on the back, another straight oue on each side of the anterior part of the 
back, and another transverse and undulated across the interorbital space are most 
conspicuous ; tubercles on the upperside of the head and of the lower leg. Abdomen 
smooth. Disks of the fingers and toes small. First finger a little longer than

The young specimen from Nicaragua is the only one I have seen. 
* The specimen from this locality, referred to in Cat. Batr. Sal. B. M. p. 203 (H. podiciferus), is young 
and too much deteriorated to admit of identification.
