MICROHYLA HEYMONSI Vogt 



1811. Microliyla heijmonsl Vogt, Sitz. Ber. Ge.s. Naturf. Freunde, Berlin, 

 1911, p. 181 (type locality Formosa; types in Berlin Mus. ; Saiiter, col- 

 lector) ; 1913, p. 224. 



A single specimen of this species hitherto known only from For- 

 mosa (No. 65302) is among the lot of M. -fissipes collected by Mr. 

 SoAverby at Yen-ping-fu Fiikien. It is matched perfectly by a large 

 series of Formosan specimens before me. The two species, which 

 apparently occur together, are very distinct and easily differen- 

 tiated. 



MICROHYLA GRAHAMI Stejneger 



1924. Microliyla graJiami Stejneger, Occ. Pap. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. 

 5, July 21, 1924, p. 119 (type-locality, Suifu, Szechwan, China ; type, 

 U.S.N.M. No. 65936; Rev. D. C. Graham, collector). 



Diagnosis. — Interorbital space almost twice as wide as upper ej^e- 

 lid; sldn above, including head and legs, strongly tubercular; toes 

 Avith mere rudiment of web at base and scant indication of lateral 

 dermal margins; tips of digits very slightly widened; heel of ex- 

 tended hind leg reaches middle of eye; two metatarsal tubercles. 



Description of type specimen. — Snout slightly longer than diam- 

 eter of orbit; interorbital space about one and a half the width of 

 upper eyelid; first finger much shorter than second, tips of all 

 scarcely widened ; toes v>^ith a rudiment of web at base and scant in- 

 dication of lateral dermal margins, tips of digits very slightly 

 widened, not expanded into disks, but with indication of a median 

 groove on top ; subarticular tubercles well developed ; two metatarsal 

 tubercles, prominent, rather small, outer larger than inner; hind 

 limb being carried forward along the bod}', the tibio-tarsal joint 

 reaches middle of eye ; tibia longer ttian half the length of head and 

 body ; skin above, including upper surfaces of head and legs, strongly 

 tubercular, the tubercles somewhat elongate and varying in size, 

 arranged in regular longitudinal row^s, the one on the median line 

 almost a continuous string of smaller tubercles; under surfaces 

 smooth, except a small granular area between the femurs; a groove 

 from posterior angle of eye to insertion of foreleg where it bifur- 

 cates, bordered below by a series of tubercular glands. 



Color (in alcohol) : Dark drab; a darker, almost blackish dorsal 

 mark between eyes, with a lateral projection between the forelegs, to 

 middle of back where it bifurcates and continues to the groin, fol- 

 lowed on the lower back by a chevron-shaped mark which con- 

 tinues on the upper surface of the femur; a dark bend from above 

 the foreleg to the middle of the flanks; a well-marked blackish spot 

 on the anal region; limbs, including digits, with dark crossbars, a 

 pale oblique stripe from posterior angle of eye to foreleg; under- 

 side pale, densely spotted with dark gray, except on middle of belly.
