in the groin, and a wide irregular sepia stripe along posterior femur; 

 upper surfaces of limbs with slight traces of dark crossbands; upper 

 lip with faint triangular spots below eye; ventral surface cinnamon, 

 with small white dots on the throat. 



Variations. — Two co types, USNM 97180-1, from Sao Bento, are 

 immature, measuring 26 and 23 mm., respectively. In a fine series 

 of 19 individuals from Eio Humboldt, Santa Catarina, the largest, 

 a female, MCZ 19501, measures 43 mm. The males are smaller, 

 averaging about 37 mm. In them, the inguinal gland is thick and 

 well marked; it is entirely lacking in the female. The web comes 

 right up to the tip of the fifth toe on almost all specimens, although 

 the three last phalanges of the fourth toe are free at least on its outer 

 side. In MNHP 50-435 the heel reaches only the center of eye; 

 in MNHP 50-436 it reaches to between eye and nostril. 



Remarks. — Cycloramphus neglectus is very close to C. asper from 

 Alto da Serra in general texture of skin and in bodily proportions as 

 well as in color pattern. The most obvious difference is in the web- 

 bing, which in neglectus is fairly extensive, coming to the tip of the 

 fifth toe, but which in asper is very scanty, appearing only as a vestige 

 between the fourth and fifth toes. The described specimen, USNM 

 97179, was sent to H. W. Parker, British Museum (Natural History), 

 who wrote on June 7, 1937: "This is rather a poor specimen, but as 

 far as one can teU it agrees well with the types of Cyclorhamphus 

 houleTigeri {= asper of Boulenger)."
