FROGS OF COLOMBIA — COCHRAN AND GOIN 195 



mottled posteriorly, while in a few hardly any markings of any type 

 are discernible on the thigh. While the majority of the specimens are 

 uniform pale underneath, some of them have dusky flecks along the 

 side of the chin and throat and a few are actually dark underneath 

 the throat. The three largest specimens at hand are 73.7, 73.8, and 

 74.6 millimeters in head and body length. 



Remarks. — We agree with Guibe (1949, p. 24) that Hyla xerophilla 

 is a synonym of #. crepitans, as we have noted that it differs from the 

 latter only in two minor respects: It has some small, silvery white 

 spots scattered over the dorsal surface, and on each heel it has a 

 wart which is enlarged to the point that it verges on beiug a dermal 

 appendage. Fresh material from Surinam indicates that Hyla indris 

 should also be included in the synonymy of H. crepitans.
