Diagnosis. — A member of the leucophyllata group with conspicuous 

 light markings dorsally. 



The conspicuous light marks on the dorsum that surround a dark 

 rectangular or triangular blotch and the large, white daub that 

 covers the dorsal surface of the shank serve at once to separate this 

 species from both H. sarayacuensis and H. rossalleni. The absence of 

 a distinct white margin on the upper lip below the eye distinguishes 

 it from H. ebraccata. 



Description. — MLS 35b, an adult female from Florencia, Caqueta, 



Figure 31. — Hyla leucophyllata, MLS 35b (X 2).
