FROGS OF COLOMBIA — COCHRAN AND GOIN 403 



As this frog has evidently faded considerably, the color of the type 

 (MZUM 50159) as given in its original description (Ruthven, 1917c) 

 follows : 



Above light brown without distinct markings; lower region of sides dull white; 

 sides of head pale brown, this color forming vertical bands with narrow white 

 interspaces beneath the eyes and in front of the eyes displaced by a few white 

 spots on the edge of the jaw and by a vertical white line on the end of the snout; 

 a broad fuscous band extending from the end of the snout along the canthus 

 rostralis to the lateral regions of the breast, and an anal patch of fuscous black; 

 hind limbs and forearms conspicuously cross-banded. Ground color of lower 

 surfaces dull white, the chin, throat, pectoral region, and under surface of hind 

 limbs densely speckled with brown. 



Remarks. — With so few specimens known — Ruthven (1922, p. 53) 

 states that three tiny individuals were collected in 1913 and two 

 adults in 1920 — it is useless to attempt a summary of variation in 

 critical proportions.

 Vomerine teeth in two short, heavy, well-separated series behind the 

 choanae; tongue nearly one-half as wide as mouth opening, broadly 

 oval, its posterior border free and slightly notched; snout short, 

 nearly semicircular when viewed from above, rounded in profile, the 

 upper jaw extending slightly beyond the lower; a small conical 

 tubercle on tip of snout and three or four others on upper eyelid; 

 nostrils more lateral than superior, slightly projecting, their distance 

 from end of snout about one-half their distance from eye, separated
