FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 205 



its distance from tip of snout; interorbital diameter only slightly 

 exceeding the width of upper eyelid, a little greater than distance 

 between nostrils. Tympanum distinct though covered by skin, its 

 greatest diameter equal to two-fifths that of eye, separated from eye 

 by an interval equal to one-half its diameter. Parotoid gland repre- 

 sented only by a slight swelling just above and behind tympanum. 

 Fingers moderate in length, not webbed, first shorter than second and 

 apparently slightly opposable, fourth shorter than third, disk of third 

 covering over one-half the tympanic area; a slight thickening at base 

 of first finger; a distinct glandular ridge from fourth finger along outer 

 forearm to elbow; toes not webbed, first much longer than second and 

 highly opposable to it, disk of fourth covering almost one-half the 

 tympanic area; apparently no inner or outer metatarsal tubercles; a 

 slight inner and a very prominent outer tarsal ridge, the latter begin- 

 ning on fifth toe and extending across heel; no dermal appendage on 

 heel; a distinct transverse glandular ridge in front of anus. Body 

 rather elongate, the width of head contained 3 times in distance from 

 tip of snout to coccyx; when hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches to 

 anterior tympanum; when lunbs are laid along the sides, knee and 

 elbow just meet; when hind legs are bent at right angles to the body, 

 heels overlap considerably. Skin of upper parts very finely sha- 

 greened ; skin of tlu-oat, chest and belly finely and uniformly granular, 

 that of lower part of femur and postanal region more coarsely granular. 

 Apparently no skinfold across the chest. No external vocal sac. A 

 dark, roughened callosity on base of first finger. 



Dimensions. — Head and body 36 mm.; head length 11 mm., width 

 12 mm.; diameter of eye 5 mm.; femur 15 mm.; tibia 16 mm.; foot 

 12.5 mm.; hand 9.5 mm. 



Color in alcohol. — Upper surfaces of head and body French gray, 

 the outer forearm and the distal part of femur and entire upper tibia 

 gray with a pinkish suffusion, rest of upper limb surfaces pinkish buff 

 to vinaceous-buff; sides and venter cream-buff; a coarse Indian purple 

 network on forearm and on anterior and posterior femur, extending 

 forward along the sides for a little way beyond the groin and changing 

 into irregular, hairlike, dark markings that cover the anterior parts of 

 sides and belly, and on the side of head and loreal region reduced to 

 small black spots. 



Color in life. — From color sketch, probably by Sandig, of a specimen 

 for which the locality was not noted. Upper parts of head and body, 

 as well as a thin stripe on femm , entire upper tibia, and a stripe along 

 outside of tarsus, apple green; upper arm, sides, anterior and posterior 

 femur and anterior tarsus coral red, the forearm and both femoral 

 areas with a coarse network of sepia; upper surfaces of hands and feet 

 pinkish buff, the disks slightly darker; ventral surfaces clay color,
