Description. — Adult male, USNM 66564 (type of H. werneri), 

 Humboldt, Santa Catarina. Vomerine teeth in two relatively wide, 

 transverse, narrowly separated patches between the choanae; tongue 

 one-half as mde as mouth-opening, cordiform, with a slight indentation 

 on its free posterior border; snout moderate in length, rounded at the 

 tip when viewed from above, more bluntly rounded in profile, the 

 upper jaw projecting somewhat beyond the lower; nostrils supero- 

 lateral, somewhat projecting, their distance from end of snout about 

 one-third that from eye, separated from each other by an interval 

 equal to theii" distance from eye. Can thus rostralis very distinct; 

 loreal region shghtly concave and practically vertical to the border 

 of the upper lip. Eye large, prominent, its diameter slightly greater 

 than its distance from end of snout; interorbital diameter a Uttle 

 greater than the relatively wide upper eyelid, greater than distance 

 between nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, about two-fifths the 

 diameter of the eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to about 

 one-half its own diameter. Fingers one-third webbed, fourth much 

 longer than second, reaching disk of third which covers the tympanic 

 area; no rudiment of a pollex visible; toes three-fourths webbed, 

 third and fifth subequal, disk of fourth more than covering the 

 tympanic area; a blunt, projecting inner but no outer metatarsal 

 tubercle; apparently a very faint inner tarsal ridge; no outer tarsal 

 ridge; no dermal heel appendage. Body not elongate, in the post- 

 axillary region less than greatest width of head; when hind leg is 

 adpressed, heel reaches anterior corner of eye; when limbs are laid 

 along the sides, knee and elbow overlap; when hind legs are bent at 

 right angles to body, heels overlap. Skin of upper parts fairly smooth 

 anteriorly, with a few small pustules on sacral region; a heavy glandu-
