Original description. — "Type. — A.M.N.H. No. 11403; adult, 9; 

 bromeliads near Constanza-Jarabacoa Trail, Paso Bajito, Dominican 

 Republic; September 4, 1922; G. K. Noble. 



"Description of Type. — Head broader than long, broader than 

 body; distance between anterior corner of eye and nostril equals the 

 greatest diameter of the eye, a trifle less than the interorbital width; 

 distance between nostril and tip of snout contained a trifle over two 

 tunes in the distance between nostril and eye; can thus rostralis dis- 

 tinct, although the loreal region slopes gradually; tympanum distinct, 

 its greatest diameter equal to a trifle less than half the greatest di- 

 ameter of the eye; separated from the eye by a space equal to its 

 diameter. Tibio-tarsal joints of either side overlap when the legs are 

 placed at right angles to the body; tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 the posterior corner of the eye. Disks of fingers and toes pronounced, 

 rounded; digits free; second toe (measured with dividers from distal 

 side of its base) longer than first; no tarsal fold. Vomerine teeth in 

 two oblique series well behind choanse, extending outward not beyond 

 the inner edge of the choanae; the two series separated from each 

 other by less distance than that which separates them from the 

 choanse; tongue thick, slightly nicked behind. Skin finely granular 

 above; the granules forming more or less regular rows on the sides; 

 belly, and thighs (except flash surfaces) coarsely granular. 



" Ground tone (in alcohol) a pale gray or flesh-color; tip of snout 

 and parietal region with adjacent parts of eyelids dark reddish brown, 

 thus giving the appearance of a light band across the head in front of 

 the parietal region; a canthal and supratympanic streak of dark 

 reddish brown; back and upper surfaces of limbs diffused with brown,
