Description. — USNM 147024, an adult male from San Gil, 

 Santander, Colombia. Tongue small, one-third as wide as mouth 

 opening, oval, its posterior border free and pointed; snout straight- 

 sided, bluntly 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 about 

 one- third their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis rounded; loreal 

 region slightly concave, descending almost vertically to upper lip. 

 Eye large, prominent, its diameter slightly greater than its distance 

 from tip of snout; interorbital diameter a little greater than that of 

 upper eyelid, greater than interval between nostrils. Tympanum 

 indistinct, its greatest diameter apparently about one-half that of eye, 

 separated from eye by an interval equal to one-half its own diameter. 

 Fingers very long, with lateral ridges, the tips swollen, free, first 

 finger a little shorter than second, fourth equal to second and reaching 

 just beyond base of penultimate phalanx of third; a tubercular thumb 

 pad present; a prominent palmar callus; metacarpal tuberclers very 

 well developed. Toes long, with traces of webs at the base, third toe 

 a little longer than fifth, its tip reaching base of antepenultimate 

 phalanx of fourth; tips of toes rounded and a little swollen, like those 

 of fingers, and equal to them in size; a small pointed oval inner 

 metatarsal tubercle and a smaller round but projecting, outer one; 

 no true tarsal ridge; a pointed tubercle on inside of tarsus midway to 

 heel; a prominent skinfold on heel and knee. Body stout, in postaxillary 

 region a little wider than greatest width of head. When hind leg is 

 adpressed, heel reaches center of eye; 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 warty, some of the warts 

 arranged in parallel rows as follows: a pair of rows on snout, top of 

 head, and shoulders and disappearing at midbody; another pair 

 beginning at posterior eyelids and converging towards sacrum,
