Vomerine teeth in two heavy, short, transverse groups almost con- tinuous medially, between the posterior halves of the choanae; tongue about three-fifths as wide as mouth opening, roundly elliptical except for a deep notch on its free posterior margin; snout rather short, rounded when viewed from above and in profile, the upper jaw extending considerably beyond the lower; nostrils superolateral, greatly projecting, almost at the extreme tip of snout, separated from each other by an interval equal to two-thirds their distance from eye. Canthus rostralis rounded; loreal region slightly concave and very oblique. Eye Figure 17.—Hyla similis, USNM 97317 (type): a, Dorsum X l;b, profile X l;c, foot X 2; d, hand X 2. very prominent, its diameter equal to its distance from nostril and to five-sixths the length of snout; interorbital diameter about 1^ times the width of upper eyelid, greater than distance between nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, about two-thirds the width of eye, separated from eye by a very narrow interval equal to about one-eighth its own diameter. Fingers with a slight trace of a basal web, fourth very slightly longer than second but not reaching the base of third, which covers one-fourth the tympanic area; no rudiment of a pollex visible; toes one- half webbed, fifth slightly longer than third, disk of fourth toe covering about one-fourth the tympanic area; a distinct oval inner and a small, wartlike outer metatarsal tubercle; a faint glandular ridge along inside of tarsus and a sti
