Hab. Mexico, Jalapa and Zacualtipan (Cope), Puebla (Berkenbusch), Mirador 
(Sartorius), Vera Cruz and Tehuantepec (Sumichrast). 
Vomerine teeth in two slightly oblique series converging backwards between the 
choane, which are much wider than the eustachian ostia. Snout broadly rounded, 
without distinct canthus, and with sloping sides ; nostrils as far distant from each other 
as from the eyes. Tympanum extremely small, scarcely visible. Fingers one-half 
webbed or less, with disks which are larger than the tympanum. ‘Toes broadly 
webbed. Upper parts smooth, lower granular; no folds or appendages. Purplish 
above, with or without a few lighter specks and indistinct darker reticulations; a 
yellow band along the margin of the upper jaw, continued on the side of the body, 
this portion sometimes not well separated from the abdominal shade. Limbs not 
barred ; concealed portions of the thigh not coloured. (After Cope and Peters.)

Cope describes the lateral band as yellow. Peters states: ‘‘On the boundary between 
the dark coloration of the back and the lighter of the abdomen there is a narrow line 
or a punctated series of black colour”; he does not mention the lateral band. 
* 33 in Schmidt’s description is obviously a misprint.
