Content. Three species, which may be identified by the following key: 1. Broad pale dorsolateral stripe present; groin bluish gray mottled with black in life H. praestans - Pale dorsolateral stripe absent; groin yellow, orange, or red in life 2 2. Small yellow spots on upper lip; venter bright yellow in life H. carnifex - No yellow spots on upper lip; venter creamy yel- low in life H. columbiana Distribution. Moderate elevations (975-2,580 m) on the Pacific slopes of the Cordillera Occidental in Ecuador and in the upper Rio Cauca and Magdalena valleys and the northern part of the Cor- dillera Central in Colombia (Fig. 1). Comment. The chromosome number is known only for Hyla carnifex (KU 173114), and tadpoles are known only for H. carnifex and H. columbiana. The populations from the northern part of the Cordillera Central, Colombia, are tenta- tively assigned to H. carnifex. Following is an account of each of the species in the Hyla columbiana group. The results of the analyses of the mor- phometric data are presented in Table 1. For illustrations of the adult and larva of H. carnifex, see Duellman (1969).
