HYLA GKATIOSA Le Conte. 



(Plate 49, fig. 9; 7-2, fig. 10.) 



Proceed. Ac. Pbila., 1856, p. 146. ^ 

 Epedaplms gratiosus Lee, Cope, Proceed. Ainer. Pbilosopli. Soc, 1885, p. 383. 



Tliis is the largest Hyla of tlio Nearctic realm. It conforms in shape 

 to the typical .forms of the genus, as the H. versicolor, II. marmorata, 

 etc.; but it differs from other known species in one marked peculiarity: 

 The peculiar glandular areolation of the integument of the belly in all 

 Hylidte is here seen on the dorsal region also. On this account I pro- 

 posed the reference of the //. gratiosa to another genus, which I called 

 Epedaphus. It remains to be seen whether this course is defensible or 

 not. 



The general characteristics of this species are as follows: 

 Web between outer fingers extending to end of xiroximal phalangeo 

 Head short, elevated. Tympanum half to two-thirds eye. Integument 

 of upper surfaces with areolations similar to those of the abdomen„ 

 Toes webbed to base of i^enultimate phalange. Femora unicolor pos- 

 teriorly. Upper lip narrowly dark edged, with a white line above the
