Description (Mus. Comp. Zool., No. 10587, adult male). — Head as long as 

 broad, narrower than body; distance from eye to nostril greater than diameter 

 of eye, greater than interorbital width, three times distance from nostril to 

 snout; canthus rostralis blunt; lores flat, sloping; tympanum three-fourths 

 diameter of eye; eye to tympanum equals one-third diameter of tympanum; 

 heels overlap slightly when appressed; heel reaches eye; disks scarcely en- 

 larged; toes free; no tarsal fold; skin granular above; a supra-tympanic fold; an 

 oblique fold from tympanum downward to middle of side; a discoidal ventral 

 fold; throat, chest and belly smooth; thighs granular below; vomerine teeth in 

 long series beginning beyond outer edge of choanae, curving in and back, sepa- 

 rated by width of choanae, and closer to choanae than to each other. Color, 

 reddish brown above; lores, supra-tympanic mark, interorbital bar, supra- 

 scapular bar and supra-sacral bar black; tibia with lighter bars; a black spot 

 on groin and another on base of thigh; concealed surfaces of thighs red. 

 Length 31 mm.; head 10. 



Variation. — A female is 39 mm. long, and has the tympanum two-thirds the 

 diameter of the eye. There may be a dorso-lateral light line, and a dorso- 

 lateral row of warts; the general color may be pale gray instead of reddish 

 brown. Specimens from Oriente seem to have the black spot on the thigh 

 poorly or not at all developed. Specimens from Pinar del Rio have no black 

 on thigh or on groin. These may represent races but it would be premature to 

 distinguish them at present.
