_Diagnosis._--A small yellowish tan _Hyla_ characterized by tympanum
concealed, anal opening not bordered below by large tubercles, brown
bands on shanks, and dark flecks on roof of mouth anteriorly.
_Description of holotype._--Adult male having snout-vent length of 27.3
mm.; tibia length 13.7 mm., 50.2 per cent of snout-vent length; foot
length (measured from proximal edge of inner metatarsal tubercle to tip
of longest toe) 11.7 mm., 42.9 per cent of snout-vent length; head
length 8.7 mm., 31.9 per cent of snout-vent length. Snout in lateral
profile truncate, rounded above, in dorsal profile rounded; canthus
angular; loreal region slightly concave; lips thin, flared. Snout
moderately long, distance from anterior corner of eye to nostril
slightly less than diameter of eye; nostrils slightly protuberant,
directed anterolaterally; internarial area barely depressed; distance
between nostrils 2.6 mm.; top of head flat; interorbital distance 3.2
mm., 34.4 per cent of width of head. Diameter of eye 2.7 mm.; thin
dermal fold extending from posterior corner of eye to point above
insertion of arm; tympanum absent, not visible through skin.
Axillary membrane absent; forearms moderately slender, having indistinct
tuberculate fold on ventrolateral edge, lacking distinct transverse fold
on wrist; fingers short; length of fingers from shortest to longest,
1-4-2-3, fourth nearly as long as second; discs small, about half again
as wide as digits; subarticular tubercules large, round, flattened,
distal ones on third and fourth fingers bifid; supernumerary tubercles
large, round, present only on proximal segments; prepollex barely
enlarged, lacking nuptial excrecence. Web lacking between first and
second fingers, extending from base of penultimate phalanx of second to
base of antepenultimate phalanx of third, from middle of antepenultimate
phalanx of third to distal end of antepenultimate of fourth finger.
Heels overlap by about one-fifth length of shank when hind limbs
adpressed; tibiotarsal articulation extending to middle of eye, tarsal
fold present, extending full length of tarsus; inner metatarsal tubercle
flat, ovoid, partly visible from above; outer metatarsal tubercle
absent; toes short; length of toes from shortest to longest, 1-2-3-5-4;
discs small, about two-thirds width of those on fingers; subarticular
tubercles small, round; supernumerary tubercles small, flattened,
