Description.- — Redescription of adult female, USNM 97236 (cotype 

 of Bufo rubescens), Bello Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Tongue elongate, 

 spatulate, over one-third the width of mouth-opening, free behind; 

 snout short, rounded when seen from above, nearly truncate in profile, 

 the upper jaw scarcely extending beyond lower; nostrils midway 

 between eye and tip of snout, slitlike, diagonal, opening superiorly, 

 separated from each other by an interval considerably greater than 

 then* distance from eye. Canthus rostralis marked by a short, heavy 

 ridge that joins a prominent preocular crest standing out distinctly 

 beyond the flat, obUque loreal region, making the latter appear 

 sunken; canthal ridge continuous with the raised supraorbital crest 

 curving outward behind the eye and almost immediately merging 

 with the heavy elongate parotoids which extend beyond the axillae; 

 a blunt low postocular crest bordering the tympanum; parietal crests 

 indistinct, suggested only by a slight roughness in that region; a 

 slight ridge along the upper lip; interocular space smooth and very 

 deeply concave. Eye large and prominent, a little longer than its 

 distance from end of snout; interorbital diameter lYs times the width 

 of the upper eyelid, much greater than interval between nostrils. 

 Tympanum moderate, distinct, higher than wide, its vertical diameter 

 two-thirds the width of eye, separated from eye only by the postocular 

 ridge. Fingers free but distinctly fringed, not dilated, first slightly 

 shorter than second, which is shorter than fourth; no pronounced 

 pollex, but an oval wart on base of first finger and a much larger one
