FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 275 



contained IK times in the long snout; interorbital diameter slightly 

 less than the wide upper eyelid, very slightly less than interval between 

 nostrils. Tympanum moderate, distinct, two-thirds the width of 

 eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to one-half its own 

 diameter. Fingers free, moderately long, second longer than first 

 and shorter than fourth, not fringed, the disks distinctly bilobed 

 above, that of thud finger covering a little less than one-fourth the 

 tympanic area; no pronounced pollex, but subarticular and palmar 

 tubercles strongly developed; toes not fringed but wath slight lateral 

 ridges, their disks bUobed above, a little larger than those of fingers, 

 that of fourth toe covering about one-third the tympanic area, third 

 and fifth toes subequal and reaching only to base of antepenultimate 

 phalanx of the very long fourth toe; a small oval inner and a round 

 outer metatarsal tubercle; no tarsal ridge evident. Body moderate 

 in build, in postaxUlary region equal to greatest width of head; when 

 leg is adpressed, heel reaches considerably beyond tip of snout; when 

 limbs are laid along the sides, knee and elbow greatly overlap; when 

 hind legs are bent at right angles to the body, heels greatly overlap. 

 Skin of upper parts minutely glandular, with a narrow dorsolateral 

 glandular line arising above the tympanum and ending in front of the 

 groin in three or four beadlike enlargements; a narrow middorsal 

 glandular line from snout to anus and an additional series of short 

 \/- or )(-shaped glands from the occiput backward; a slight glandular 

 line across the heel; ventral surface smooth except for postanal granu- 

 lations extending below the femur; some enlarged glands at the corner 

 of the mouth, and a diagonal ridge behind tympanum. (Apparently 

 a pair of small lateral vocal sacs below the corners of the lower jaw 

 in the male.) 



Dimensions. — Head and body 33 mm.; head length 12 mm., width 

 11 mm.; femur 18 mm.; tibia 20 mm.; foot 19.5 mm.; hand 8.5 mm. 



Color in alcohol. — Dorsum above wood brown, limbs lighter; a few 

 small sepia spots scattered along the lower border of the dorsolateral 

 line, and several more dark spots between the shoulders emphasizing 

 the \/-shaped glandular lines; a faint dark triangular spot below the eye 

 and dusky marks on the loreal region and behind the ear; femur with 

 four even, dark crossbars above, which posteriorly break up into a 

 marbled light and dark pattern with a few transverse irregular light 

 bars ; forelimbs, tibia and feet also crossbanded with dark ; venter pale 

 buff, immaculate. 



Vm-iations. — The other cotypes, also immature, do not differ 

 essentially from the one described, nor does an immature topotype, 

 USNM 96465. The largest topotype, 97762, apparently a female, 

 measures 48 mm. in total length; USNM 97761 and 97763 are both 43
