Description. — USNM 147096, an adult female from La Selva, 

 Norte de Santander, Colombia. Vomerine teeth in two short, trans- 

 verse, narrowly separated series behind the choanae; tongue two-thirds 

 as wide as mouth opening, broadly oval, its posterior border free 

 and scarcely notched; snout moderate, rounded when viewed from 

 above, rounded in profile, the upper jaw extending well beyond the 

 lower. Nostrils lateral, not projecting, their distance from end of 

 snout about one-half their distance from eye. Canthus rostralis not 

 distinct; loreal region slightly convex, sloping outward to the upper 

 lip. Eye large, prominent, its diameter two-thirds its distance from 

 tip of snout; interorbital diameter 1%, times that of upper eyelid, 

 equal to interval between the nostrils. Tympanum large, distinct, 

 its greatest diameter nearly equal to that of eye, separated from eye 

 by an interval equal to one-third its own diameter. Fingers moderate, 

 with lateral ridges, free, first finger much longer than second or fourth, 

 its tip reaching nearly to base of last phalanx of third; all fingers 

 and toes with very small bulbous disks; a large oval thumb pad 

 present; a flat palmar callus; metacarpal tubercles well developed. 

 Toes long, free, third toe longer than fifth, its tip reaching almost 

 to base of antepenultimate phalanx of fourth; a heavy oval inner 

 metatarsal tubercle and a smaller round outer one; a trace of a tarsal 

 ridge just behind the inner metatarsal tubercle; a skinfold on heel 

 and knee. Body stout, in postaxillary region narrower than greatest 

 width of head. When hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches posterior 

 corner of eye; when limbs are laid along the sides, knee and elbow 

 overlap ; when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, heels strongly 

 overlap. Skin of upper parts roughly shagreened anteriorly to finely 

 tubercular on sacrum and upper tibia; venter smooth, except for 

 many fine transverse folds across anterior belly; a weak glandular 

 ridge from posterior corner of eye above and behind tympanum,
