Description. — Adult, USNM 97540, city of Rio de Janeiro. Tongue 

 elongate, entire, and free for about one-fourth its length posteriorly, 

 one-third the width of the mouth-opening; snout moderately long, 

 slightly rounded when viewed from above, truncate in profile, the 

 upper jaw not projecting bej^ond lower; nostrils a little nearer to tip 

 of snout than to eye and below the canthus, the openings directed 

 upwards and backwards, separated from each other by an interval 

 equal to their distance from eye. Canthus rostralis marked by a 

 straight, smooth ridge, forking in front of eye to form a preocular crest, 

 continuing above eye as a narrow but sharp ridge with a slight parietal 

 crest jutting from its inner posterior border, its outward branch 

 turning posteriorly to join the rather small parotoid gland by a short 

 postorbital crest; no lateral ridge; upper jaw flaring downwards and 

 outwards at commissure of mouth; interocular space concave. Eye 

 moderate, projecting, its diameter somewhat greater than its distance 

 from end of snout; interorbital diameter IK times the width of upper 

 eyelid and !){ times the interval between nostrils. Tympanum fahly 

 large, very distinct, higher than wide, its height equal to more than 

 one-half the diameter of eye, separated from eye by an interval equal 

 to one-half its own height. Fingers free, with distinct lateral ridges, 

 first finger longer than second and equal to fourth; palmar and sub- 

 articular tubercles distinct, the latter smgle; toes not quite one-thii-d 

 webbed, heavily fringed, third longer than fifth, reaching to base of 

 antepenultimate phalanx of fourth ; a small conical inner and a round 

 outer tubercle only slightly smaller; a very distinct tarsal ridge set 

 with fine regular tubercles nearly reaching to heel; subarticular tu- 

 bercles of toes moderate in size, single. Body rather slender, in post- 

 axillary region somewhat narrower than greatest width of head ; when
