equal. Inteiiument everywhere smooth. A discoidal abdominal 

 fold. A fold on the distal half of the external border of the tarsus, 

 extending to a rather prominent prtehallucal tubercle. 



Color above, brownish lead- color ; below whitish. Groin reticu- 

 late, and sides punctate with the dorsal on the ventral color. Four 

 brown spots on the upper lip anterior to the line of the tympanum, 

 and a black sti'eak above and behind the tympanum. A blackish 

 cross- band between the posterior parts of the orbits, and some black 

 longitudinal spots on the dorso-lateral region, bounding upwards the 

 paler color of the sides. Limbs with obscure blackish cross-bands. 

 Thighs behind, whitish at base, and obscurely reticulate on the supe- 

 rior and distal portions. Limbs below, and gular region, clouded. 



Total length of head and body, 75 mm. ; do. of head to line of 

 cauthus oris, 19 mm; width of head at do., 28 mm. Length of 

 anterior limb, 40 mm. ; do. of head, 18 mm. ; do. of posterior limb, 

 115 mm. ; do. of hind foot, 50 mm. ; do. of astragalo-calcaneum,

This is the largest species of Lifhodytes, but it is less robust than 

 the L. gulosiis Cope. In general appearance it reseml>les one of 

 the large species of Leptodadylus, but it is a true Hylodine, with 

 T-shaped terminal phalanges. It has some resemblance to L. mela- 

 nostictus, but that species has much longer hind limbs, larger pallets, 

 an oval tongue, etc. A single specimen of the L. euryglosHus is in 

 the collection, which was taken at San Jose, by Sen. P. Biolley (No. 

 448). 



Levirana vibicaria gen. et sp. nov. 



Char. gen. — Identical with Ramda, but ^^^thout vomerine teeth. 



Char, specif. — Form robust, muzzle short, wide ; hind limbs rather 

 short, the heel reaching to the front of the eye. Canthus rostralis 

 strongly marked, angulated at the nostril, anterior to which it is de- 

 flected to the apex, which does not project beyond the lip- border. 

 Loral region slightly concave; nostril nearly on canthus, -6 the 

 length of the muzzle anterior to the orbit. Tympanic drum sub- 

 round, about u the diameter of the eye-slit. Choana) rather small, 

 about equal to ostia phai-yngea. Tongue large obovate, deeply 

 emarginate posteriorly. Digits with slight terminal enlargements; 

 those of the fingers scarcely distinct, those of the toes supported by 

 elongate T-shaped phalanges. Second (first) finger a little shorter
