The absence of the clavicles and procoracoids separates this species from Relictivomer pearsei, Otophryne robusta, and Elachistocleis ovalis, while the absence of the palatines separates it from Glossostoma aterrimum. Description.—MHNP 03-84 (holotype), from Rio Sarare, Norte de Santander, Colombia. A microhylid without vomerine teeth; small, rounded choanae; tongue three-fourths as wide as mouth opening, pointed anteriorly, with well-developed cornua on each angle poste- riorly, the cornua being free, a transverse row of glandular structures across roof of mouth. Snout small, triangular when viewed from above, broadly pointed in profile, the upper jaw extending beyond lower; nostrils more lateral than superior, not projecting, their dis- tance from end of snout about two-thirds that from eye, separated from each other by an interval equal to their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis hardly defined; loreal region concave and more flattened than oblique, the upper lip flaring out, then rolling in below. Figure 4.—Ctenophryne geayi, FM 357 (same size)..
