FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 201 



the largest example appears to have almost a "shovel-snout," as in 

 profile there is a little ridge before it slopes down to the mouth-opening. 

 In all three, the parotoid gland is easily visible to a point midway from 

 axilla to groin. 



A young example, USNM 96925, also from Campo Bello, shows 

 the heavy marblings on anterior and posterior femoral surfaces, as 

 well as other specific color characters even at its small size of 24 mm. 

 in head and body length.

Description. — Adult male, USNM 96338 (cotype), Corcovado, 

 city of Rio de Janeiro. No vomerine teeth, but vomer with shght 

 rugosities where teeth would normally appear; tongue cordiform, 

 one-half as wide as the mouth opening, with a very slight indentation 

 on its free posterior border; snout short, bluntly pointed when viewed 

 from above and squarely truncate in profile, slanting downwards and 

 slightly backwards, so that the tip of the snout projects somewhat in 

 front of the lower jaw; nostrils lateral, almost at tip of snout, separated 

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

 Canthus rostralis angular and distinct; loreal region sHghtly concave 

 and nearly vertical. Eye large and very prominently projecting, its 

 diameter slightly exceeding its distance from end of snout; interor- 

 bital diameter Wt times the width of upper eyelid, much greater than 

 distance between nostrils. Tympanum rather indistinct and covered 

 by skin, its diameter apparently about one-third that of eye, separated 

 from the eye by an interval equal to one-third its diameter ; no supra- 

 tympanic glandular ridge; no parotoid gland. Fingers moderate in 

 length, without a basal web, first shorter than second and apparently 

 only slightly opposable, second shorter than fourth, disk of third 

 covering about four-fifths the tympanic area; base of first finger with 

 a semilunar callosity; no true glandular ridge from base of fourth
