FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 271 



species at once distinguishable from Eleutherodactylus guentheri, which 

 inhabits nearly the same regions in southeastern Brazil. The peculiar 

 sculptured pattern of the dorsal ridges is also an easy means of identify- 

 ing this species, while other featm-es that facilitate recognition are its 

 large head and the small tubercular ridges on the heel, which some- 

 times almost amount to heel appendages. 



The head is often very slightly longer than broad, but in several 

 specimens the width and the length of the head are the same. The 

 heel may reach only to between eye and nostril, or may extend beyond 

 the tip of the snout, as it more frequently does. A pair of dark, 

 small, widely separated sacral spots appear to be usually present, 

 while another pair much closer together lie on the occipital region, and 

 several small spots accentuate the interocular bar.
