Hyla marmorata Daudin, Dum. Bibr. 



This species is quite distinct from that described and figured under this 

 name by Burmeister.* The latter being without name may be called H. seni- 

 c ul a. 



I append a description of the fresh coloration of this species, which does 

 not appear to have been recorded. 



Ground color above gray, with two large blackish blotches which extend 

 backwards on the sides, one from the iliac, and one at the axillar regions. 

 These are confluent on the middle line of the back, leaving only the scapular 

 regions and insignificant spots of the ground, which is more or less replaced 

 by bay. The last color forms a V-shaped figure with broad black border, 

 whose limbs reach the orbits and enclose a pink gray space which is bounded 

 in front by a black interorbital cross-band. Top of muzzle light bay. Gular 

 region pale, with dark gray speckles. Belly and femora, except a narrow band 

 above, with basal part of humerus, yellow black spotted ; the spots smaller and 

 thicker on the belly. Upper surfaces of limbs dark gray with rufous shades, 

 cross-})arred with darker. End of humerus and femur, fore arm and band 

 with tibia and whole foot black below ; the distal halves of the webs yellow. 

 Dermal margin of ulna and tibia white. 



From the Rio fVapo or Upper Amazon below its mouth. Eleven specimens. 

 This species is strikingly different from others of this genus, in the great ex- 

 tent of its webs, and the singular coloration. It appears to be abundant in the 

 region named. No. 6649. 



Hyla leucophyllata Beireis. II. frontalis Daud. 



A variety in which the brown dorsal patch does not bifurcate to the lateral 

 band, and the muzzle is rather more elongate. 



Napo and Upper Maranon. No. 6650. 



Hylella carnea Cope, sp. nov. 



This is a small species with a broad rounded head, and slender body and 

 limbs. The canthus rostralis is moderately distinct, and the tympanum indis- 

 tinct and small, and surmounted by a fold. Eyes large and jirominent, diam- 

 eter -25 greater than length of muzzle in advance of them. Nostrils terminal, 

 end of muzzle vertical. Tongue round, -25 free behind. Ostia pharyngea equal 

 inner nares. Fingers -33 webbed, and with dermal margins; dilatations of 

 moderate size. Skin of bony above smooth. 



The exterior coloration does not appear on the femur, which is unicolor 

 behind, and onl}^ as a faint line on humerus. This pigment is light rose yellow ; 

 three narrow bands across tibia, two across fore arm. A broad blood-red band 

 between the eyes, each extremity sending a blood-red band on each side the 

 back to the vent, with a connecting spot of the same on the coccyx. A deep
