FROGS OF COLOMBIA — COCHRAN AND GOIN 213 



Remarks.- — The holotype, a gravid female packed with pigmented 

 eggs, is the only individual we have seen of this species, and we know 

 of no specimen from the Andes that resembles it. 



We dedicate this new species to our friend Archie Carr in recogni- 

 tion of his contributions to tropical biology and for the help he has 

 given us. 



7. buckleyi group 



Moderate-sized Hyla with well-developed patagia. reduced webbing 

 between the fingers, throat and chest regions dusky to distinctly 

 spotted, and choanae moderate in size and somewhat oblong rather 

 than small and rounded. 



The two Colombian species in this group may be distinguished 

 with the aid of the following key : 



a 1 . Faded mottled pattern on back, throat and chest dusky but not distinctly 

 spotted, fingers webbed only at base H. buckleyi 



a 3 . Distinctly marked above, throat and chest heavily sprinkled with small 

 distinct spots, fingers about one-half webbed H. cabrerai

1882. Hyla buckleyi Boulenger, 1882a, p. 362 (type locality, here restricted, 



Ecuador, Canelos). — Nieden, 1923, p. 267. 

 1961. Osteocephalus buckleyi. — Goin, p. 13. 



Diagnosis. — A moderate-sized Hyla with fairly well-developed 

 patagium; faded mottled pattern on the back; throat and chest 

 dusky but not distinctly spotted; and reduced webbing between 

 the fingers. 



H. buckleyi is most closely allied to cabrerai, from which it may be 

 distinguished by the reduced webbing between the fingers and the 

 lack of distinct spots on throat and chest. 



Description. — CNHM 54765, from Rio Rumiyaco, 1,000 meters, 

 Nariflo, Colombia. Vomerine teeth in two short AA series, lying close 

 together between the moderate-sized, oblong choanae; tongue two- 

 thirds as wide as mouth opening, broadly rounded, its posterior border 

 very slightly free and unnotched. Snout moderate, rounded when 

 viewed from above, truncate in profile, the upper jaw extending but 

 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. Can thus rostralis well defined; 

 loreal region concave and rather oblique, the upper lip flaring out 

 below it. Eye moderate, not particularly prominent, its diameter 

 equal to its distance from nostril; palpebral membrane not reticulate;
