FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL COCHRAN 137 



feet and fingers with fainter spots or bars, the webs and disks very 

 pale. Iris pinkish buff, the black pupil transversely elliptic. 



Remarks. — The shape of the head and especially the sharply tipped 

 snout of this species is imitated by H. werneri. It may therefore be 

 considered as more or less intermediate between groups 4 and 5. 

 An outer metatarsal tubercle is sometimes apparent. In the cotype 

 described none can be discerned.

Description. — Adult male, USNM 96988, Agua Limpa, Minas 

 Gerais. Vomerine teeth in two very heavy, long, transverse, narrowly 

 separated series between the choanae ; tongue slightly more than three- 

 quarters as wide as mouth-opening, broadly cordiform, its posterior 

 margin free and slightly notched; snout rather long, rounded at the 

 tip when viewed from above and in profile, the upper jaw projecting 

 well beyond the lower; nostrils superolateral, somewhat projecting, 

 their distance from end of snout about half that to eye, separated 

 from each other by an interval equal to two-thirds their distance from 

 eye. Canthus rostralis well defined ; loreal region concave and sloping. 

 Eye large, prominent, its diameter equal to its distance from nostril; 

 interorbital diameter equal to width of upper eyelid which is relatively 

 wide, slightly greater than distance between nostrils. Tympanum 

 very distinct, about two-thirds the diameter of eye, separated from 

 eye by an interval equal to half its own diameter. Fingers without 

 any trace of web between the three outermost and with only a rudi- 

 ment of a web between first and second; fourth finger a little longer 

 than second and reaching to disk of third, which covers about one- 

 fourth the tympanic area; no rudiment of a poll ex; toes slightly more 

 than one-half webbed, fifth slightly longer than third, disk of fourth 

 covering one-fourth the tympanic area; a distinct inner and a small,
