throat and chest smooth, of belly and anal region coarsely granular, 

 of distal lower surface of femur smooth; apparently a slight skinfold 

 across the chest. A prominent external (median?) vocal sac. 



Dimensions. — Head and body 24 mm.; head length 8 mm., width 

 7.5 mm. ; femur 1 1 mm. ; tibia 13 mm. ; foot 9 mm. ; hand 6 mm. 



Color in alcohol. — Although the specimen described is deteriorated 

 and softened by the effects of a glycerin preservative, it is still possible 

 to make out the elements of the original color pattern. Ground color 

 of upper parts russet anteriorly to drab posteriorly; a sepia median 

 stripe beginning at the tip of the snout and continuing to the vent; a 

 narrow dark crossbar between the eyes, forming a cross with the me- 

 dian sepia stripe; a sepia stripe along the can thus, continuing above the 

 ear and fading out before it reaches the groin; between this stripe and 

 the median dorsal one is a wide but less well-defined stripe from the 

 posterior corner of the eye backwards to the vent; anterior surfaces of 

 forearm and foreleg pale ecru-drab; a few small sepia dots on forearm, 

 with a heavier aggregation of dots from outer part of elbow almost to 

 wrist ; a few pale brown diagonal crossbands on upper part of tibia, and 

 several other diagonal bars, slightly darker, on tibia; tarsus and foot 

 vermiculated with brown ; ventral surfaces immaculate pale olive-buff. 



Color in lije. — From a painting by Sandig of a male, USNM 96964. 

 Dorsal ground color wood brown, lighter on the limbs; a dark olive 

 lateral stripe with a light stripe above it and another wide olive stripe 

 above that extending from posterior corner of eye to groin; a narrow 

 drab interorbital crossbar, and an equally narrow drab dorsal line be- 

 ginning on the snout, intersecting the interorbital bar to form a cross 

 and continuing onto the sacrum, where it widens and fades out; femur 

 with very slight indications of dark spots; tibia and forearm with large 

 cinnamon crossbars; outer part of tarsus also spotted with cinnamon; 

 entire upper parts minutely dotted with pale brown; chin canary 

 yellow, belly cream color, lower surfaces of limbs lilac gray, the webs 

 and disks of hands and feet nearly white. Iris apparently straw 

 yellow, the black pupil transversely elliptic. 



A painting by Pugas of USNM 97613 shows the living coloration to 

 be as follows : Dorsal ground color bice green on head and back to light 

 bottle green on limbs; a clove-bro\Mi interorbital mark with irregular 

 posterior prolongations; a white dorsolateral stripe beginning behind 

 the eye, bordered above and below by wide, dark-edged, sepia stripes 

 rather irregular in width; a sepia stripe along the canthus rostralis; 

 several small sepia spots in the middle and posterior part of back; 

 several pale green, narrow, longitudinal marks in the middle of the 

 white dorsolateral stripe; femur with a white reticulated pattern 

 around dark green spots and crossbars; anterior part of femur and knee 

 dull sepia; tibia and forearm with wide, dark-edged green crossbars.
