 three of the specimens of venulosa that we have seen from Colombia 

 are from Astillero, the same locality that our two specimens of ingens 

 are from.

Diagnosis. — A Phrynohyas with or without a dark central patch on 

 the dorsum. 



P. venulosa may be distinguished from P. ingens — the only other 

 species of Phrynohyas presently known to occur in Colombia — by its 

 moderate size, the largest specimen at hand having a head-body length 

 of 84.5 millimeters; the smaller of the two specimens of ingens at 

 hand has a head-body length of 94.5 millimeters.
