LYNCH INTRODUCTION According to the most recent review of the Mexican amphibian fauna (Smith and Taylor, 1948), six genera of leptodactylid frogs occur in Mexico. One other genus, _Pleurodema_, occurs in Lower Central America. Smith and Taylor recognized one species of _Engystomops_, 28 of _Eleutherodactylus_, three of _Leptodactylus_, eight of _Microbatrachylus_, 12 of _Syrrhophus_, and five of _Tomodactylus_. Subsequent to the publication of their checklist of the Mexican amphibia (1948), numerous taxonomic changes have been proposed. Many species of _Eleutherodactylus_ have been added to the fauna, either through the extension of their recorded ranges into Mexico from Guatemala or by the recognition of species unknown in 1948, whereas some nominal species have been synonymized. _Microbatrachylus_ has been regarded as synonymous with _Eleutherodactylus_ (Lynch, 1965); four species of _Microbatrachylus_ currently are regarded as valid (Duellman, 1961, Lynch, 1965). _Syrrhophus_ was revised in part by Duellman (1958) and Firschein (1954), and a species of _Tomodactylus_
