376 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 2 88 



Dimensions. — Head and body, 81 mm.; head length, 28 mm.; head 

 width, 37.5 mm.; femur, 37 mm.; tibia, 41 mm.; foot, 34 mm.; hand, 

 20.5 mm. 



Color in alcohol. — Dorsum Indian purple, with a paler interorbital 

 bar, and some wood brown spots irregularly scattered between the 

 glandular areas; upper surfaces of limbs clove brown, with faint russet 

 diagonal stripes between the wider and darker stripes; side of head 

 Indian purple, with a few paler drab spots along upper lip and below 

 eye; side of body dull sepia, the groin mottled with large irregular 

 white (yellow in life?) splotches; posterior femur clove brown mottled 

 with white spots above and below the knee; anterior femur more 

 faintly but regularly mottled with dark and light; venter wood brown, 

 the throat and chest with a fine sepia vermiculation ; a few sepia spots 

 on anterior belly; lower limb surfaces heavily vermiculated with sepia 

 and pale wood brown; soles and palms dull clove brown, the tubercles a 

 little lighter. 



Remarks. — There are individual differences in the roughness of the 

 backs of frogs in the series at hand. Some are relatively smooth, as in 

 the specimen described, while others have as many as eight broken 

 rows of glandular ridges across the back. Rugosities on the upper eye- 

 lids also vary, sometimes being elongated into one or more short der- 

 mal "horns," and sometimes evident only as some blunt tubercles. 

 The pattern is not always the same, for some frogs are light tan or 

 gray with well-marked pale glandular ridges and others are dark, as in 

 the described specimen.
