Description.— MZUM 48402 (paratype), an adult female from 

 heights east of San Miguel, 6,000-7,000 feet, Santa Marta Mountains, 

 Magdalena, Colombia. No bony ridges on top of head; a slight fronto- 

 parietal depression. Vomerine teeth in two transverse, heavy, nar- 

 rowly separated series behind the choanae; tongue three-fifths as 

 wide as mouth opening, thick, cordiform, its posterior border free 

 and slightly notched; snout broadly rounded when viewed from above 

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

 dorsolateral, slightly projecting, their distance from end of snout 

 two-thirds their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis blunt; loreal 

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

 its diameter equal to its distance from tip of snout; interorbital 

 diameter a trifle less than that of upper eyelid, equal to interval 

 between nostrils. Tympanum small but distinct, its greatest diameter 

 one-third that of eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to 

 its own diameter. Fingers fairly long, with lateral ridges, free, first 

 finger shorter than second, fourth longer than either, reaching halfway 

 on penultimate phalanx of third, the disk of which covers almost 

 one-half the tympanum; a distinct oval thumb pad present; a small 

 bifid palmar callus; metacarpal tubercles well developed. Toes long, 

 with traces of a web, third toe longer than fifth, its disk reaching to 

 base of antepenultimate phalanx of fourth; disk of fourth toe covering 

 about two-thirds the tympanum and definitely larger than that of 

 third finger; a pronounced oval inner metatarsal tubercle and a smaller 

 round one; no true tarsal ridge; a heavy skinfold on heel and knee. 

 Body rather stout, in postaxillary region a little wider than greatest 

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

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

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

 overlap. Skin of upper parts smooth (pustular under the lens), with 

 short glandular ridges behind eyes and on the side; venter faintly
