Two specimens were collected at Agua del Obispo, Guerrero, 
August 31, 1989 (U.S.N.M. Nos. 114078-114079). One other speci- 
men was obtained from Cerro Arenal, near Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, 
January 19, 1940 (U.S.N.M. No. 114077). 
The Cerro Arenal specimen was caught at night hopping in leaves 
among boulders in a small, rocky, dry arroyo. In life the colors were: 
‘“liehter parts of dorsal surfaces of body and limbs metallic gold- 
green; dark areas on body translucent, dark brown; dark areas‘on 
limbs a little lighter, of a somewhat amber color.”

Syrrhophus smitht Taytor, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., vol. 89, 1940c, pp. 48-45, pl. 1 
(15 miles southeast of Galeana, Nuevo Leén). 
Two specimens (U.S.N.M. No. 108594, type, and E. H. T—H. M.S. 
No. 23067, paratype) were collected at the type locality, 15 miles 
southeast of Galeana, Nuevo Leén, October 138, 1939. 
SYRRHOPHUS LEPRUS Cope 
Syrrhophus leprus Corr, Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc., vol. 18, No. 104, 1879, pp. 
268-269 (Santa Efigenia, Tehuantepec, Oaxaca). 
A series of 14 specimens is present in the collection. These are 
U.S.N.M. Nos. 114080-114084 from Potrero Viejo, Veracruz, December 
13, 1988; U.S.N.M. No. 114093, La Gloria, Oaxaca, January 26-30, 
1940; and U.S.N.M. Nos. 114085-114092, Piedras Negras, Guatemala, 
May 21 to June 15, 1939. 
The two groups of specimens differ in that those from Guatemala are 
darker, with the light areas contrasting more. In life the light areas 
are yellow, and the dark almost purple. 
Cope gives so few details that it is impossible to say whether these 
specimens agree in all details with the type. When the legs are placed 
at right angles, the heels overlap a trifle. The inguinal gland is obso- 
lete, but the parotoid is prominent above the arm insertion. The heel 
reaches the anterior part of the eye. The largest specimen is a female 
from Guatemala, having a length of 28 mm. The largest specimen 
from Veracruz is only 24mm. The tympanum, in all, is more than one- 
third of the eye, in some equaling two-fifths of the eye diameter. The 
specimen from La Gloria, Oaxaca, has the dorsal surface somewhat 
granular or pustular.
