Description. — Adult female, USNM 81128, Serra da Bocaina, Rio 

 de Janeiro. Vomerine teeth in two very heavy, narrowly separated, 

 short y \ shaped patches between the posterior borders of the 

 choanae; tongue about one-h^lf the width of mouth-opening, almost 

 oval, with a shght indentation on its partly free posterior border; 

 snout very short and broad, rounded when viewed from above, 

 truncate and slanting backwards from the edge of the upper lip when 

 seen in profile, the upper jaw scarcely extending beyond the lower; 

 nostrils lateral, projecting greatly, their distance from end of snout 

 about one-half that from eye, separated from each other by an in- 

 terval almost as great as their distance from eye. Canthus rostralis 

 blunt but well defined ; the loreal region concave, the upper lip flaring 

 conspicuously outward below it. Eye large, very prominent, its 

 diameter almost equal to its distance from end of snout; interorbital 

 diameter 1% times that of upper eyelid, considerably greater than 

 distance between nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, large, about 

 two-thirds the diameter of eye, separated from eye by an interval 

 equal to about one-fourth its own diameter. Fingers entirely webbed, 

 fourth a little longer than second, reaching to disk of third, which 

 covers two-thirds the tympanic area; a very pronounced pollex 

 visible as a knob on inside of first finger; a very heavy, serrate, glandu- 

 lar fold along outside of forearm and hand; toes somewhat more than 

 three-fourths webbed, fifth a little longer than third, disk of fourth 

 covering about two-thirds the tympanic area; a large oval inner but 

 no outer metatarsal tubercle; a smooth sharp ridge along inside of
