A sigmoid or straight inner tarsal fold is present in most spe- cies; it extends from the distal half or two thirds of the tarsus to the inner metatarsal tubercle. Webbing between fingers and toes.—Webbing is absent between the fingers in most Ecuadorian Colostethus; however, some species, such as C. chocoensis (Fig. 1) and possess a small webbing between Fingers II and III that is continu- ous with a lateral fringe. The amount of webbing between the fingers in C. chocoensis varies. The extent of webbing between toes varies from unwebbed to almost completely webbed. Also, in- traspecific variation in foot webbing exists among populations of C. infraguttatus and C. elachyhistus, and within populations of C. toachi. Dorsal color patterns.—Several Colostethus have a uniform brown dorsum; however, most spe- cies have dark marks or dark stripes on the dorsum (Fig. 2). Dark marks may be in an irregular or reticulate pattern as in C. maquipucuna, some speci- mens of C. pulchellus, and C. jacobuspetersi. Some populations of C. elachyhistus and C. shuar have irregularly distributed dark spots. The most com- mon pattern is that of a transverse mark between the eyes, followed posteriorly by a "V"-shaped mark.
