Hylodes raniformis. 



Tongue cordiforra. Vomerine teeth in two short transverse 

 series close together, behind the level of the choanaB. 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. 



This species is closely allied to H. palmatus^ Blgr., but 

 distinguished by the broader interorbital region, the smooth 

 skin, and the much larger size.

 than the body ; snout broadly rounded, with obtuse canthus 

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

 snout than the eye ; interorbital space narrower than the

 the diameter of the eye. Fingers short, merely swollen at 

 the end, first longer than second; subarticular tubercles 

 strong; toes short, webbed at the base, dilated into well- 

 developed disks at the end ; subarticular tubercles moderate ;
