Ilylodes raniformis. 



Tongue covdiform. Vomerine teeth in two short transverse 

 series close together, behind the level of the choanse. Head 

 a little broader than long;- snout obtusely pointed, longer 

 than the diameter of the orbit, with angular canthus rostralis 

 and concave loreal region ; nostril much nearer the tip of the 

 snout than the eye ; interorbital region as broad as the upper 

 eyelid ; tympanum distinct, half the diameter of the eye. 

 Fingers moderate, first longer than second ; subarticular 

 tubercles very strong ; toes long, one-third webbed ; disks 

 moderate ; a rather strong elliptical inner metatarsal tubercle ; 

 a very indistinct outer metatarsal tubercle. The tibio-tarsal 

 articulation reaches beyond the tip of the snout. Skin smooth. 

 Greyish olive above, with ill-defined darker spots ; a light 

 vertebral stripe sometimes present ; a streak above the 

 tympanum and below the canthus rostralis blackish ; lips 

 spotted with blackish ; limbs dark-spotted or with very indis- 

 tinct dark cross-bars ; hinder side of thighs whitish, reticulate 

 with dark brown ; lower parts white, throat sometimes 

 speckled with brown. Male with an internal vocal sac. 



From snout to vent 70 millim. 



Several specimens; Buenaventura and Cali.

 distinguished by the broader interorbital region, the smooth 

 skin, and the much larger size.
