Diagnosis.- — A rather large tree frog without dermal appendages on 

 the heels or reticulations on the palpebral membranes but with a 

 transverse, generally whitish, glandular line above the vent and with 

 at least the two terminal phalanges of the outer three fingers free of 

 web. 



In general appearance Hyla crepitans is more similar to a half- 

 grown maxima or rosenbergi than to any other Colombian frog, but it 

 may be readily distinguished from both of these by having the two 

 terminal phalanges of the outer three fingers free of web. 



Description. — CNHM 61169, from, Catival, upper Rio San Jorge, 

 C6rdoba, Colombia. Vomerine teeth in two short, heavy angulate-shaped 

 series, lying close together between the rather large, oblong choanae; 

 tongue two-thirds as wide as mouth opening, very broadly cordiform, 

 its posterior border entirely fused and shallowly notched. Snout 

 moderate, somewhat pointed when viewed from above, somewhat 

 rounded in profile, the upper jaw extending a little beyond lower; 

 nostrils more lateral than superior, considerably projecting, their 

 distance from end of snout about one-third that from eye, separated 

 from each other by an interval equal to about two-thirds their distance 

 from eye. Canthus rostralis moderately defined; loreal region concave 

 but not too oblique, the upper lip flaring out only moderately below it.
