Description. — Adult male, USNM 98128, Lag6a do Curralinho, 

 near Lassance, Minas Gerais. Vomerine teeth in two short, heavy, 

 well-separated, posteriorly converging patches between posterior 

 borders of choanae; tongue almost two-thirds the width of mouth- 

 opening, cordiform and with a distinct notch on its partly free posterior 

 margin; snout elongate, pointed when seen from above and in profile, 

 the upper jaw projecting considerably beyond the lower; nostrils 

 superior, shghtly projecting, situated almost at the end of the snout, 

 their distance from it less than one-third that to eye, separated from 

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

 Canthus rostralis long, rounded; loreal region concave, sloping out- 

 wards. Eye moderately large, fairly prominent, its diameter almost as 

 great as its distance from end of snout; interorbital diameter about 

 1% times that of moderately wide upper eyelid, about IK times the 

 distance between nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, about one-half 

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

 than one-half its own diameter. Fingers webbed only at the base, 

 fourth longer than second but not reaching to base of disk of third, 

 which covers about one-half the tympanic area; no rudiment of a 

 projecting pollex; toes a little more than one-half webbed, fifth much 

 longer than third, disk of fourth covering about one-half the tympanic 

 area; a small inner and a very minute outer metatarsal tubercle; 

 apparently no tarsal ridges; no dermal appendage on heel. Body 

 elongate, in the postaxillary region a little less than greatest width of 

 head; when hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches to center of eye; when 

 limbs are laid along the sides, knee and elbow are widely separated; 

 when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, heels greatly overlap. 

 Skin of upper parts quite smooth; a glandular ridge encircling upper 

 part of tympanum and ending on shoulder; skin of chin, throat, and 

 chest smooth, that of belly and posterior femur coarsely granular; a 

 pronounced sldnfold across the chest. A very large median vocal sac.
