Both species were sexually dimorphic with respect to body size, females being larger than males. The SVL of 14 female E. antillensis measured in 1993 was mm (SD = mm, range = ) and their weight was g (SD = mm, range = g; all islands combined). Ten female E. schwartzi were mm in SVL (SD = mm, range = mm) and weighed g (SD = g, range = g). HABITAT USE BY ELEUTHERODACTYLUS Eighty-nine percent of all male E. schwartzi {n = 45) and 74% of male E. antillensis (n = 171) located in October 1993 were perched in vegetation < m high while calling (data for Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and Guana combined). The remaining 11% of call- ing E. schwartzi and 26% of E. antillensis were perched higher than m and thus were out of our reach. We did not capture E. cochranae in 1993, although we audiotaped calls of this spe- cies on Tortola. In 1994, we captured nine E. cochranae (eight.
