Notes on Paratypes 



The three paratypes are closely similar in size and structural characters 

 to the type. Two have the black subcanthal and shoulder mark outlined 

 with white above. One lacks the dorsal black spots.' 



The specimen from Maricao was taken singing in herbage along the 

 roadside, together with E. auriculatus and E. antillensis. Two were taken 

 singing on El Yunque, likewise in low herbage, and the last was found 

 by accident in collecting E. wightmance. 



The note of this species is a succession of clicks, less shrill and less 

 rapid than in E. gryllus. 



This species stands in the same relation to E. antillensis as E. gryllus 

 does to E. auriculatus. 



Eleutherodactylus wightmanae, 4 new species 



Thirteen specimens of this species were collected at Maricao and El 

 Yunque, near the Forester's cabin. 



Diagnostic Characters 



Size small, snout pointed; nostril much nearer to the tip of the snout 

 than to the eye; tympanum small, distinct, separated from the eye by 

 about its own diameter; vomerine teeth in two straight series, in the 

 same line, extending as far laterally as the choange, and about the diameter 

 of a choana behind them ; toes free, digital disks well developed ; 

 tibiotarsal articulation reaching the anterior border of the eye; heels 

 overlapping when the legs are placed at right angles to the body; skin 

 rugose above, with elongate folds and ridges; venter rugose; thighs 

 granular. 



Range 



Luquillo Forest to Maricao, probably confined to the coffee belt and 

 the wet forests above it. 



* Named for the author's wife, Margaret Wightraan Schmidt, whose loyal assistance 

 contributed largely to the success of the work in Forto Rico.
