FROGS OF SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL — COCHRAN 293 



scars left by ectoparasites. All the males have two similar patches 

 of mimite spines on the thumb, the smaller patch at the base, the larger 

 on the penultimate phalanx. A young frog measuring 16.5 mm. lacks 



these spines. 



The color pattern is quite constant, with the large dark triangle 

 between the eyes preceded by a light and a dark crossbar. The region 

 between the shoulders has a median light area bordered by an irregular 

 dark circle or merely with some dark markings on its anterior border. 

 The posterior half of the back tends to be very mdistinctly mottled 

 with dark. The regular rectangular dark spots across the legs are 

 evident m all specimens that are not completely faded out. 



Remarks. — This species is similar to Eupsophus miliaris but much 

 smaller; the snout nearly semicircular when seen from above; thumb 

 spines very minute, in two patches on first, but not appearing on 

 second and third fingers as in miliaris; ventral surface immaculate. 

 The species was named in honor of Dr. Adolpho Lutz.
