FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 135 



bromeliads have been removed, and the frog has not reappeared. 

 The eggs have not been found. The call of this frog may be imitated 

 by making a sucking, clucking noise with the tongue, many times 

 repeated.

Description. — Adult male, USNM 96964 (cotype), Bello Hori- 

 zonte, Minas Gerais. Vomerine teeth in two weakly developed, short, 

 narrowly separated, transverse series between the posterior borders 

 of the choanae; tongue three-fourths as wide as mouth-opening, 

 broadly cordiform, distinctly notched on its free posterior margin; 

 snout moderately long, bluntly pointed when viewed from above, 

 rounded in profile and declivous; upper jaw projecting considerably 

 beyond the lower; nostrils superolateral, projecting, their distance 

 from end of snout slightly less than one-half that from eye, separated 

 from each other by an interval equal to about three-fourths their dis- 

 tance from eye. Canthus ros trails not distinct; loreal region flat. 

 Eye moderate in size, not especially prominent, its diameter equal to 

 its distance from nostril; interorbital diameter Iji times the width of 

 upper eyelid which is relatively narrow, IK times the distance between 

 nostrils. Tympanum not very distinct, about one-third diameter of 

 eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to its own diameter. 

 Fingers very slightly webbed at the base, fourth considerably longer 

 than second; disk of third appears to cover about one-half the tym- 

 panic area; no rudiment of pollex visible; toes one-half webbed, third 

 and fifth subequal, disk of fourth covering about one-half the tympanic 

 area; a distinct inner but no outer metatarsal tubercle; no tarsal ridge; 

 no dermal appendage on heel. Body distinctly elongate, in the post- 

 axillary region somewhat narrower than greatest diameter of head. 

 When hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches nostril; when limbs are laid 

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

 angles to the body, heels greatly overlap. Skin of upper parts slightly 

 granular; no apparent glandular ridge above tympanic area; skin of
