Subfamily Pseudinae 



The possession of an additional phalanx in each digit seems to be a 

 character of suflBcient importance to accept the emendation to the sub- 

 family definition made by Parker (1935, p. 51 1) . The subfamily name 

 to include also such genera as Ceratophrys, Cycloramphus, Eupsophus, 

 Zachaenus and Eleutherodactylus , as proposed by Noble (1931, p. 499), 

 is thus restricted to include only the members of the genus Pseudis. 



Genus Pseudis Wagler 



1830. Pseudis Wagler, p. 203. (Genotype, Rana paradoxa Linnaeus.) 



The records of Pseudis limellum (deWitte, 1930a, p. 220) for Tijuca 

 in the city of Rio de Janeiro and for Alto da Serra in Sao Paulo are 

 apparently based on mislabeled specimens. No species of Pseudis 

 occurs in Tijuca, the fauna of which is quite well known. The Alto 

 da Serra frog labeled P. limellum is actually a Hyla leucophyllata, a 

 transposition of data having undoubtedly occurred here also. 



Generic diagnosis. — PupU horizontal. Tongue circular, entire and 

 slightly free behind. Vomerine teeth present. Tympanum distinct. 

 Fingers free, first opposable to the others; toes webbed to the tips; 

 tips of fingers and toes pointed or swollen into small disks. Outer 

 metatarsals separated by a web. Omosternum cartilaginous; sternum 

 a cartilaginous plate. Terminal phalanges simple.

granular bolbodactyla (p. 213) 



o.* Legs much thicker; carpal areas swollen; dorsal skin apparently smooth.
