This beautiful little frog is usually found in damp woodlands. It was 
first described from eastern Cuba (doubtless Monte Verde) having been col- 
lected by Charles Wright. We believe that it is confined to the Province of 
Oriente, for it has been found at Monte Libano and Yateras near Guantanamo 
(Ramsden) at Cayo del Rey near Alto Cedro (Torre) and at several localities 
in the Sierra Maestra (Barbour). As we have indicated, this species until 
recently appeared rare and is usually only found under stones or decaying 
vegetable matter along the banks of some mountain stream. Recent observa- 
tions of the junior author (Ramsden) show that this frog is really not rare in the 
mountain ranges to the north of Guantanamo. Indeed one finds it in abun- 
dance and inall sizes, at a place called San Felipe on Monte Toro in deep forest 
when the ‘‘Palma Juta” grows. Here the palm is called ‘Palma juta”’ and the 
places where it grows abundantly are known locally as “Jutales.”
