sac. Skin of head not co-ossified with skull, roof of skull not exostosed . 



Dimensions. — Head and body, 25.7 mm.; head length, 8.7 mm.; 

 head width, 8.7 mm.; femur, 12.6 mm.; tibia, 13.7 mm.; heel-to-toe, 

 16.3 mm.; hand, 7 mm. 



Color in alcohol. — A lavender brown above, pale below. The only 

 semblance of pattern is in the two upper eyelids, which are dark 

 purple, and in two purplish areas on the dorsolateral region above the 

 region of the elbows. There is no sharp line of distinction between the 

 dorsal ground color and the ventral pale color. 



Variation. — All specimens of this species examined seem to be 

 remarkably uniform in all essential characters. The pattern is rather 

 uniform throughout the group, the most conspicuous elements of it 

 being the darker eyelids and the darker blotches along the dorso- 

 lateral sides of the back in the region above where the elbows lie. 

 The specimen described above was directly compared with the type 

 and the two were found to be conspecific and practically identical. 



Although Centrolenella parabambae has somewhat the same dorsal 

 color as C. antioquiensis and C. buckleyi, its vomerine teeth and gen- 

 eral build serve to distinguish it readily.
