musculature and extends onto the body to the vertical midway between hind 

 legs and the spiracle. Spiracle sinistral directed upwards and backwards, 

 far below lateral axis, the spiracular opening plainly visible and elliptical or 

 round. Eye just touches or is below the lateral axis, is in dorsal aspect on the 

 lateral outline and in consequence visible from the venter. Anus dextral, 

 opening at or only slightly above the lower edge of the ventral crest. Mu- 

 ciferous crypts not distinct. 



Mouth parts: Teeth 2/3. Upper labium fringed with a continuous row of 

 labial teeth; the papillae extend above and inwards beyond the end of the 

 upper fringe for about 2/7-1/4 of the length of the upper fringe. The end 

 of the second upper labial row may be even or beyond the end of the fringe. 

 The horny beak is contained in upper fringe 1.5-1.7 times. Median space 

 between the lateral second upper labial row 1.25-2 in the length of either 

 lateral row. The lateral row is contained about 2 1/2 in the upper fringe. 

 The inner papillae extend beneath the third lower labial row of teeth giving a 

 two-rowed appearance of papiUae below it hke Hyla cinerea. The third row of 

 labial teeth is short (in one specimen subdivided) and is 2/9-1.3 times 

 (usually 2/5, rarely as small as 1/8) in the length of the first or second rows. 

 The first and second rows about equal or i 1/2 greater than the horny beaks.
