366 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 2 88 



indistinct sepia stripe narrowing and fading out under knee; side of 

 head dull buff-pink with four irregular diagonal sepia spots, the 

 first from nostril to lip, the next two under eye, and the last below 

 tympanum. Palms and soles buff-pink, suffused with pale sepia 

 proximally; the cutting edge of inner metatarsal tubercle black. 



Remarks. — The largest example at hand (USNM 146952, a female 

 from Astillero, Norte de Santander), measures 85.5 millimeters in 

 head-and-body length. In appearance this species rather suggests 

 Ceratophrys ornata from Argentina and southern Brazil.
