wood brown; the tips of toes and fingers darker; webs between toes 

 also wood brown. 



Remarks. — Another specimen at hand, USNM 142102, a female 

 with the same data as the described specimen, has the following 

 millimeter measurements: head and body, 172; head length, 50; 

 head width, 63.5; femur, 65; tibia, 66; foot, 60; hand, 43. The critical 

 proportions are very close to those of the described specimen. The 

 only important differences are that the tympanum is much more 

 distinct in the smaller specimen but is only two-fifths the diameter 

 of the eye and the toes are about one-fourth webbed.

Description. — USNM 4335 (holotype), an adult from Turbo, 

 Choco, Colombia. Supraorbital, postorbital, and parietal bony ridges 

 on top of head, the two first continuous in an obtuse angle. Tongue 

 about two-fifths as wide as mouth opening, spatulate, its posterior 

 border free and unnotched; snout widened at tip, with a small vertical 

 ridge when viewed from above, nearly truncate in profile, the upper 

 jaw extending well beyond the lower. Nostrils superolateral, strongly 

 projecting, their distance from end of snout one-half their distance 

 from eye. Canthus rostralis very strongly ridged, concave in outline; 

 loreal region vertical, slightly concave, sloping a little to the upper 

 lip. Eye large, prominent, its diameter equal to its distance from 

 tip of snout; interorbital diameter twice that of upper eyelid and of 

 interval between nostrils. Tympanum distinct, its greatest diameter 

 one-half that of eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to 

 one-third its own diameter. Fingers quite long, slightly webbed and 

 with lateral ridges, first finger shorter than second, fourth longer than
