Color in alcohol. — Ground color of upper parts drab; aa elongate, 

 triangular, vandyke-brown mark between the eyes, and three or 

 four series of irregularly paired spots down the middle of the back, 

 with a particularly dark though small pair of spots at the termination 

 of the body just above the anus; an irregular seal-brown line beginning 

 on the canthus, widening behind the tympanum and extending to the 

 groin, with short series of brown dots or lines appearing to bifurcate 

 from it behind the shoulders; other scattered brown dots in short 

 series or singly all over the dorsal region between the large paired 

 brown spots; a dark brown longitudinal stripe on anterior part of 

 upper arm; forearm indistinctly crossbanded with brown bars; femur 

 with a wide brown longitudinal stripe on its anterior surface; its 

 upper part light, its posterior part heavily mottled with irregular, 

 large, vandyke-brown spots edged with dark dots; tibia with three 

 indistinct wide crossbands edged with dark dots; tarsus with some 

 dark longitudinal markings, bringing into relief the row of light 

 pustules and the light tarsal ridge; anus with a brown triangular 

 patch below it; ventral surfaces pale cream color except belly, which 

 is dark drab. 



A colored sketch by Sandig of a Campo Bello specimen, USNM 

 96926, shows the following colors: Dorsum drab, lighter towards anal 

 region and on limbs; a black line along canthus rostralis; a large sepia 

 shield-shaped interorbital spot edged with a line of black dots; a 

 series of three elongate sepia spots edged with black dots along upper 

 dorsolateral region; a wide pale stripe with a few dark dots down its 

 center covering the dorsolateral area; below this a dark stripe from the 

 tympanum fading out halfway down the sides; posterior distal half 

 of femur and upper tibia suffused with vinaceous-cinnamon ; a few 

 indistinct olive spots on upper femur, not extending onto its posterior 

 surface, which in this individual appears immaculate; tibia with three 

 wide drab crossbars dotted with black and with a dotted outline; 

 outer surface of tarsus with light drab crossbars; upper arm pale 

 anteriorly and posteriorly, but with a dark sepia suffusion on its upper 

 surface; forearm weakly crossbanded with drab like tarsus. Iris 

 apparently light drab gray. 



Remarks. — The comparison of cotypes of H. fuscomarginata, H. 

 crospedospila, and H. cuspidata with one another and with fresh 

 material leads to the conclusion that these three forms are closely 

 related. All three show the characteristic narrow upper eyeUds 

 shielding the prominent eyeballs, a very wide interorbital space and 

 a similar reduction of web between the fingers.
