series. The three species now known from Colombia may be differenti- 

 ated by the following key: 



a 1 . No dermal appendage on heel. 



b l . Dorsolateral stripes present H. rubracyla 



b 2 . No dorsolateral stripes H. granosa 



a 2 . A triangular dermal appendage on the heels H. guibei

Holotype. — USNM 157820, collected along the Rio Calima, near 

 Cdrdoba, Valle, Colombia, July 12, 1961, by Fred Medem and Coleman 

 J. Goin. 



Paratype — CNHM 81922, collected at Aqua Clara, Choc6, 

 Colombia. 



Diagnosis. — A medium-sized green Hyla without a transverse white 

 ridge above the vent, without dermal appendages on the heels, and 

 with conspicuous dark canthal and dorsolateral stripes. 



The presence of dorsolateral stripes serves to differentiate this new 

 species from H. granosa, while the lack of heel appendages distinguishes 

 it from H. guibei. 



Description of holotype. — Vomerine teeth in two heavy, arched 

 / \ series, lying very close together between the rather large, oblong 

 choanae; tongue one-half as wide as mouth opening, broadly cordi-
