I feel quite sure about the arrangement of this form and the 

 proper allocation of the name. 



Phyllobates kingsburyi Boulenger. 



1918, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (9), 2, p. 427. 



Type.— B. M. N. H. no. 1912-11-1-46-49 from El Topo, Rio 

 Pastaza, Eastern Ecuador, 4200 feet. 



This has been seen from the types; Cana, Panama (U. S. N. 

 M. no. 50197-200); and Rio Calobre, Panama (U. S. N. M. no. 

 53737-8). These specimens I have not seen recently. I am 

 not wholly convinced that comparison of specimens would not 

 show the Panamanian specimens to be different from the Ecua- 

 dorian. 



Phyllobates latinasus Cope. 



1863, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, p. 48. 



Type. — This is from Truando River, Colombia; probably not 

 in existence. 



It has been seen from Rio Esnape, Panama (M. C. Z. no. 

 9207-9215); Cana, Panama (U. S. N. M. no. 54231, 63005, 

 66318); Cerro Azul, Panama (U. S. N. M. no. 54174-5); Almi- 

 rante, Panama (M. C. Z. no. 9867-72); La Loma, Panama (M. 

 C. Z. no. 10251-6); Santa Cecilia, Costa Rica (M. C. Z. no. 

 7859). 



The specimens seen are all the same species, and different 

 from any other seen, but close to kingsburyi. Whether they 

 are Cope's species is perhaps questionable. Latinasus was 

 described as 30 mm. long, which agrees with kingsburyi, but not 

 with what I am calling latinasus, of which I have seen none over 

 21 mm. Otherwise the description agrees better with what I 

 am calling latinasus than with what I am calling kingsburyi. 



Phyllobates nubicola Dunn. 



1924, Occas. Papers Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan 151, p. 7. 



Type. — Univ. Michigan no. 58292 from above Boquete on 

 trail to Chiriqui Grande, Panama, 4500 feet. 



It has been seen from the type and others from the same 

 trail on both sides of the divide. There is no doubt about this 

 one.
