and palms of hands slate with a few light spots, the tips of the digits 

 light also. 



Remarks. — The new subspecies from Boyaca differs from the nomi- 

 nate form from Huila mainly in the shape and length of the snout, in 

 the position of the nostril, and in the incision of the toe webs. Neither 

 has a visible tympanum. Otherwise they are very similar in structure 

 and in color. Critical measurements of the new subspecies are inclusive 

 of those of the type of A. ebenoides except for the head length, which 

 is slightly less in the latter. It seems clear that, although separated 

 by the Eastern Cordilleras, these two forms are closely related. 



This form is named in honor of our friend and colleague, Dr. 

 C. J. Marinkelle.
