104 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 
7. ELEUTHERODACTYLUS DIMIDIATUS (Cope). 
Plate 13, fig. 6-8. 
Ranita; Ventorilla; Campanilla. 
Diagnosis:— A small woodland frog, having a faint dorsolateral fold and 
perfectly smooth skin on the back. There is almost always at least a trace of 
a light middorsal stripe, forking over the vent and passing down the back of 
each thigh. There is a dark stripe on the tympanic region and a black spot 
on each side near the sacral region. 
Description:— Adult M. C. Z. 3,045. Cuba: Oriente; Jiguanf, Los Negros 
(Sierra Maestra Mts.), March, 19138. Thomas Barbour. 
Tongue broad, oval, free and unnotched behind; vomerine teeth in two 
long curved series a short distance behind the choanae, the series separated 
by a very narrow median interspace, the series extend to the line of the maxil- 
lae; nostrils near tip of snout, their distance from eye equal to its diameter; 
upper eyelid distinctly narrower than interorbital space; tympanum round, 
rather large, about equal to two thirds of the diameter of the orbit; fingers 
without dises, first finger very slightly longer than second; toes with very small 
scarcely discernible discs; tip of first toe not quite reaching base of second; 
two very inconspicuous metatarsal tubercles; soles smooth; a faintly indicated 
tarsal fold; the bent limbs being pressed along the side, knee and elbow overlap 
slightly; with the adpressed hind limb the tibiotarsal articulation extends 
slightly beyond the tip of the snout; the hind limbs being placed vertically 
to the axis of the body the heels overlap considerably; skin above perfectly 
smooth, a very fine glandular dorsolateral fold along each side; skin of throat, 
belly, and limbs smooth; belly without modified discoidal area. 
Colour (in life): — Varying shades of slate or gray. Hind limbs lighter, 
anterior aspects of thighs often yellowish or with a faint tinge of pink. A broad 
dark stripe extends along the snout over the tympanic area to behind the in- 
sertion of the fore limb. Upon each side on the lumbar or sacral region there 
is a conspicuous black spot. A light middorsal line which forks above the 
vent and passes along the hinder side of each thigh is very characteristic of the 
species and is almost invariably present. 
Dimensions:— Tip of snout to vent 32 mm. 
Width of head 11 mm. 
Diameter of eye 3 mm.
