Type locality. — San Carlos, Costa Rica. 



Range. — From Costa Rica northward through Guatemala to 

 southern Yucatan, Mexico. 



Remarks. — As with most of the tree frogs occurring in Mexico, very 

 little is known in regard to the habits of this little delicate-skinned 

 species. Joseph R. Slevin, of the California Academy of Sciences, 

 observed numbers of these tree frogs clinging to reeds in a Guatemala 

 slough and captured a large series with the aid of an insect net. The 

 upperparts (in alcohol) of the type (U.S.N.M. No. 29970) are dark 

 vinaceous-drab with a network of dark purplish reticulations. The 

 measurements of this specimen are as follows: Head-and-body length, 

 28.5 mm.; transverse diameter of tympanum, 1.4 mm.; transverse 

 diameter of eye, 3.5 mm.; anterior edge of eye to nostril, 2.3 mm. 

 Two specimens (M. C. Z. No. 2463) from Chichen Itza in Yucatan 

 are referred to this species, and they differ from the type in having 

 more conspicuous darker markings. The color pattern is unsym- 

 metrical and consists of a network of irregularly edged dorsal dark 

 streaks in addition to scattered minute dark specks; interorbital dark 

 band irregular. A curved dark streak with anterior and posterior 

 projection crosses back near fore end of sacrum, and behind this are 

 one or more dark blotches.
