between the two lateral parts of the second rows contained 1.5-3. 

 times either lateral row. Inner papillae on either side from end of 

 lateral upper row one or two rows to end of lower third labial row. 

 The lower third labial row with one row of papillae below it, rarely 

 with none, and about equal to this single row of papillae, or two and 

 five-eighths to three and one-half times in the length of the first or 

 second rows. The first or second lower labial rows about equal or 

 about one and one-third longer than horny beaks. Some of the 

 teeth rows have tendency to be curved on ends or united at other 

 rows or be quite irregular, more so than in any other United States 

 Hylid.
