Description. — Adult male, USNM 96840 (cotype of Eupemphix 

 maculiventris), Alto da Serra, Sao Paulo. Vomerine teeth absent; 

 mouth-opening very small; snout wedge-shaped, almost like that of a 

 microhylid; tongue one-half the diameter of mouth-opening, elongate, 

 oval, without an indentation on its partly free posterior border; snout 

 moderate in length, pointed at the tip when seen from above, slanting 

 backward to the mouth-opening in profile, the upper jaw consequently 

 projecting far beyond tlie lower; nostrils lateral, considerably below 

 the canthal angle, their distance from end of snout only about one- 

 third their distance from eye, separated from each other by an interval 

 somewhat less than their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis sharp, 

 the loreal region flat and forming a right angle with the top of the 

 snout; the upper lip nearly vertical and scarcely flaring out from the 

 loreal region. Eye rather small, fairly prominent, its diameter contained 

 1% times in the snout; interorbital diameter VA times that of the upper 

 eyelid, considerably greater than that between nostrils. Tympanum 

 faintly visible (in this specimen), about one-half the eye diameter, 

 separated from the eye hj half its own diameter. Fingers moderate in 

 length, free, not fringed, their tips only slightly swollen, the tips of the 

 outer ones rather truncate, but not appearing as definite disks; first 

 and second fingers subequal, second a little shorter than fourth, which 

 extends to base of antepenultimate phalanx of third; toes without webs 

 or fringes, the tips swollen but not forming disks; third slightly longer 

 than fifth, reaching nearly to base of antepenultimate phalanx of 

 fourth; no tubercle under the arm; subarticular tubercles of hands and 

 feet very indistinct; a pair of small round metatarsal tubercles, the 

 inner and outer nearly the same in size; no tarsal tubercle or ridge; a 

 low flat inguinal gland twice the diameter of the eye in width. Body 

 elongate, elliptical, in postaxillary region about equal to greatest width 

 of head, which comes behind the tympanic area; when hind legs are 

 adpressed, heel reaches to anterior corner of eye; when limbs are laid 

 along the sides, knee and elbow touch; when hind legs are bent at 

 right angles to the body, heels touch. Skin of upper parts nearly 

 smooth except for some A-shaped dorsal glands extending across the 

 back; a low glandular ridge beginning behind the eye, extending 

 straight backwards and widening to a heavy lateral fold which reaches 

 the groin; ventral surfaces quite smooth, also the postanal region.
