own transverse bars
on each segment of hind limbs and four bars on each forearm; flanks
white with dark brown spots; anterior surfaces of thighs creamy white
with brown reticulations; posterior surfaces of thighs dark brown with
creamy yellow flecks; stripe on snout, canthus, edge of upper eyelid,
and supratympanic fold tan; ventral surfaces of feet brown; rest of
venter creamy white; stripe above anus white.

Color (in life): green above with slightly darker green spots; dorsal
surfaces of upper arms and thighs tan with green transverse bars; upper
surfaces of forearms and shanks green with darker green transverse bars;
feet, fourth and fifth toes, and third and fourth fingers tan with brown
transverse bars; other fingers and toes tan with brown flecks. Ventral
surfaces creamy yellow, brightest on throat and chest; flanks and
anterior surfaces of thighs bright creamy yellow with dark brown
reticulations and spots; posterior surfaces of thighs and ventral
surfaces of feet dark brown with yellow flecks; ventral surfaces of
hands and webbing on hands and feet yellowish tan. Labial stripe tan;
stripes on outer edge of forearm, along outer edge of foot, and above
anus cream-color; stripe on canthus, edge of upper eyelid, and on
supratympanic fold bronze-color. Iris pale bronze with black
reticulations and faint median, horizontal copper-colored streak; pupil
horizontally elliptical with ventral notch; palpebral membrane clear
above, pale bluish green with brown reticulations below.

_Variation._--In life all individuals had creamy yellow venters and
yellow flanks and anterior surfaces of thighs with brown or black spots
and mottling. Most of the adults were colored like the holotype, but one
was a much darker olive-green, and one was uniform brown above with a
dark brown middorsal stripe. Most subadults (snout-vent lengths
31.6-50.1 mm.) were pale reddish tan above with darker reddish brown
bars on the limbs and blotches on the back. The side of the head was
dark brown and the stripe along the canthus, edge of upper eyelid, and
supratympanic fold was yellowish tan. Some individuals had a dark brown
middorsal stripe. The posterior surfaces of the thighs were dull
yellowish tan; yellow flecks were present in the larger individuals.
