with lighter and darker; another in the private collection of the junior author

Eleutherodactylus plicatus is only known from a small series all secured 
upon Monte Libano near Guantanamo; taken under stones and debris together 
with H. dimidiatus, E. ricordii, and Phyllobates limbatus along brooks in deep 
woods, at La Union, where the road from San Fernando, Yateras, running 
west meets the highway from Guantanamo to Sagua de Tanamo; it has never 
been found elsewhere. In its general appearance it recalls H#. cuneatus, but 
differs strikingly from that species in having a peculiarly broad, rounded head 
and in a remarkably rugose dorsum.

Ranta; Ventorilla; Campanilla. 
Diagnosis:— A very small terrestrial frog, with no digital dilations and 
having a coarsely granular belly. The tympanum is large, about two thirds as 
large as the eye, the rows of teeth on the palate being rather short, and straight 
but directed so as to converge slightly posteriorly. 
Description:— Young M. C. Z. 3,721. Cuba: Valley of Luis Lazo, Janu- 
ary, 1917. Thomas Barbour. 
Tongue, oval, narrow and entire behind; vomerine teeth in two rather 
short, straight series, the outer extremity of each series is some little distance 
behind but not outside (laterad) the corresponding choana, the series slants 
slightly posteriorly and converges with its fellow, they are separated by a con- 
siderable interspace; head broad and rounded, wider than the body; snout 
flat, scarcely declivous; interorbital space distinctly wider than an upper eye- 
lid; tympanum large, round, about two thirds the diameter of the eye, its 
distance from the eye distinctly less than its own diameter; discs on fingers 
not developed, first finger not quite as long as second; first toe much shorter 
than second; subarticular tubercles poorly developed, a number of small scat- 
tered plantar tubercles; a very feeble inner and outer metatarsal tubercle; no 
tarsal fold; the hind limb being carried forward along the body the tibiotarsal 
articulation reaches the anterior border of the eye, bent vertically to the axis 
of the body the heels meet; skin above coarsely granular; belly and hinder 
aspect of thighs coarsely granular; a faintly indicated ventral discoidal fold.
