Diagnosis. — A large Hyla with reticulations on the palpebral 

 membranes, triangular dermal appendages on heels, hands and feet 

 fully webbed, and the webbing between fingers and toes dusky to 

 dark gray. 



H. maxima differs from geographica by having the fingers fully 

 webbed and by the webbing being dusky to dark gray rather than 

 clear; from pardalis by having reticulations on the palpebral mem- 

 brane ; and from faber and rosenbergi by having reticulations on the 

 palpebral membrane, dermal appendages on the heels, and webbing 

 dusky between fingers and toes.
