Description. — USNM 150669, an adult from Montanita, Caldas, 

 Colombia. Vomerine teeth in two short, heavy, slanting, well-separated 

 series behind the choanae; tongue large, two-thirds as wide as mouth 

 opening, broadly cordiform, its posterior border free and notched; 

 snout elongate, rounded at the tip when viewed from above, rounded 

 in profile, the upper jaw extending well beyond the lower. Nostrils 

 lateral, distinctly projecting, their distance from end of snout equal 

 to one-half then* distance from eye. Can thus rostralis distinct; loreal 

 region concave, flaring outwards to the upper lip. Eye large, prominent, 

 its diameter two-thirds its distance from tip of snout; interorbital 

 diameter about 1% times that of upper eyelid, equal to interval be- 

 tween the nostrils. Tympanum distinct, its greatest diameter three- 

 fifths that of eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to two- 

 thirds its own diameter. Fingers very long, with distinct lateral 

 ridges, free, first finger slightly longer than second, fourth longer than 

 either, reaching beyond base of penultimate phalanx of third, the 

 disk of which covers one-fourth the tympanum; a heavy oval thumb 

 pad present; a bifid palmar callus; metacarpal tubercles well developed. 

 Toes moderately long, faintly webbed, third toe a little shorter than 

 fifth, the disk of which reaches to base of antepenultimate phalanx 

 of fourth; disk of fourth toe covering one-fourth the tympanum, and 

 about equal to that of third finger; a small but prominent inner 

 metatarsal tubercle, and a minute round outer one; a weak tarsal 

 ridge extending one-third of the distance to heel; a pronounced skin- 

 fold on heel and knee. Body rather elongate, in postaxillary region 

 narrower than greatest width of head. When hind leg is adpressed, 

 heel reaches beyond tip of snout; when limbs are laid along the sides, 

 knee and elbow overlap; when hind legs are bent at right angles to 

 body, heels overlap. Skin of upper parts pustular, with a few weak 

 granules behind tympanum and on sacrum; upper eyelid with a patch 

 of small pointed granules, and a single pointed tubercle on heel; sides 

 granular anteriorly, pustular in the groin; venter smooth anteriorly, 

 granular on posterior part of belly; a thin but sharp glandular ridge 

 from posterior corner of eye above tympanum, ending behind it; a 

 slight skinfold across the chest; a prominent ventral disk; probably a 

 pair of lateral external vocal sacs in male. 



Dimensions. — Head and body, 49 mm.; head length, 19 mm.; head 

 width, 18.5 mm.; femur, 25 mm.; tibia, 29 mm.; foot, 25 mm.; hand,
