FROGS OF COLOMBIA—COCHRAN AND GOIN 173 Gastrotheca medemi probably is most closely related to G. nicefori, from which it differs in its narrower head, shorter legs, and smaller tympanum. Description of holotype.—Vomerine teeth in two short, rounded series, lying between the small, rounded choanae; tongue four-fifths as wide as mouth-opening, broadly rounded, its posterior border slightly free and shallowly notched.

Snout moderate, somewhat U-shaped when viewed from above, somewhat rounded in profile for a Gastrotheca, the upper jaw extending a little beyond lower; nostrils more lateral than superior, very slightly projecting, their distance from end of snout about two-fifths that from eye, separated from each other by an interval equal to about three-fifths their distance from eye. Canthus rostralis well defined; loreal region concave and some- what oblique, the upper lip flaring out below it. Eye moderate, mod-. Figure 12.—Gastrotheca medemi, paratype, CNHM 81367 (same size).
