Leptodactylus mystaceus SPIX is also closely allied to Leptodactylus albilabris GTHR. * from the West Indies and Mexico, which shows almost the same morphological characters,** hut it has the snout slightly shorter and less pointed, the tongue deeper notched behind, the eyes and tympanum proportionally smaller, the dark canthal and labial band and the whitish facial stripe between these not so sharply pronounced, the dark tympanal marking, the white crescent-shaped spots in front and behind the tympanum less distinct and not so regularly edged than those of Leptodactylus mystaceus SPIX. 10.

Leptodactylus typhonius BOULENGER, Cat. Batr. Sal., 1882, p. 246. Five specimens from Villa Sana, collected in April 1903 ; length 28 29, 36, 41 ( J ) and 4(5 ( £ ) mm. from snout to vent. Toes not fringed. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the centre of the eye or (in the young specimens) the nostril. Back with distinct longitudinal folds and two glandulous folds on each side. Metatarsus smooth, without pustular rows. Olive or rosatre-grey above with strongly pronounced, black-edged dark spots all over the back and flanks ; two or four * Dr. A. G ÜNTHER , Ann. & Mag. Nat.

An other from Mazatlan (west coast of Mexico), received from the Museum of Vienna, a male with external vocal sacs, agrees well with BOULENGER'S Leptodactylus prognathus from Esperanza (Argentinia) and descents perhaps from an other country. *** Already stated by PKTERS (Monatsber.

This treating corresponds fully with the drawings given on the plate and also with SPIX'S types from the Museum of München which I have examined. The specimen figured by SPIX (pl. Ill, fig. 3) is an adult male with black external vocal sacs. PETERS asserts erroneously that the specimen figured under / on SPIX'S plate III belongs also to Leptodactylus typhonius DAUD.
