Williams. The name might also refer to the ease with which frogs of the genus Eleuthero- dactylus sit astride their lofty Andean thrones gazing down toward the Andean slopes and lowland environments with their populations of Ernest's favorite animals, the anoles. Relationships. Eleutherodactylus ano- lirex is a member of the unistrigatus group as defined by Lynch (1976). This species group is very large (Lynch listed about 100 species) and is centered distri- butionally in northwestern South Ameri- ca, especially in the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador (Duellman, 1979; Lynch, 1979). The high species densities in Ecuador are partially real and partially a product of intense systematic research there between 1966 and 1978. Lynch and Duellman (1980) advocated the use of as- semblies (a subunit of a species group) in discussing relationships and distribu- tions within the unistrigatus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly rese
