“…Near Camp I, a male (USNM 562048) was found during the day hidden among the leaves of Bonnetia maguireorum growing along a stream. A snake {Leptophis cupreus) was photographed the following day (Feb. 11, 1984) as it searched the axils of these plants, presumably foraging for frogs (Albuquerque and McDiarmid, 2010). Two males (AMNH A-131173-74) had been previously located (Feb. 7, 1984) as they called from the leafy part of these plants, and another male (AMNH A-131178) was found 10 days later near Camp Ill also calling from a Bonnetia plant.…”

Two new species of Myersiohyla are described from the 1984-1985 Cerro de la Neblina Expedition in southern Venezuela, together with notes on the genus and a test of its monophyly, which has been challenged in recent studies. The inclusion of new sequences results in a monophyletic Myersiohyla that is better supported than in earlier analyses. One of the new species is similar to M. inparquesi, with which it has been confused previously. This newly described species has, like M. inparquesi, a tadpole with a dorsoventrally flattened body and the largest labial toothrow formula so far reported for anuran larvae (16/21). It differs from M. inparquesi in larval characters, adult coloration, and vocalization. The other new species is unique in having a color pattern composed of stellate melanophores over a greenish ground color. Comments on the holotype of M. loveridgei provide details overlooked in previous references to this rare species and stress the need to establish diagnostic characters that might differentiate it from M. aromatica. Furthermore, we report one specimen not assigned to any species from Huachamacary Tepui, only 25 km from the type locality of M. loveridgei. So far, all studied species of Myersiohyla have relatively large (2.8-3.2 mm), yolky ovarian eggs, a character state shared with several other frogs in Cophomantini (Hyloscirtus, Aplastodiscus, the Hypsiboas benitezi species group), and likely a

“…245 km NW of that Panamanian record. It matched well with L. cupreus, in having the following combination of characters: a uniformly copper-colored dorsum, unstriped in adults, color pattern without dark oblique bands and keels absent on the first dorsal scale rows (Albuquerque and McDiarmid 2010). The snake was coiled sleeping at night 1 m above the ground.…”

Abstract.—During a recent expedition to five protected areas in Panama (Parque Nacional Volcán Barú andReserva Forestal Fortuna, Chiriquí Province; Parque Nacional Santa Fe, Veraguas Province; Parque Nacional Darien,Rancho Frío, Darien Province; and Mamoni Valley Private Reserve, Panama Province), we observed 95 species ofamphibians and reptiles (51 amphibians and 44 reptiles). We made opportunistic observations of many of them,including noteworthy updates on the conservation status of critically endangered or endangered taxa (Atelopus glyphus,A. limosus, A. varius, Isthmohyla angustilineata, I. tica, Oedipina grandis), the third and fourth distribution records forPanama of Trilepida macrolepis, the second distribution report of Leptophis cupreus for the country, the fourth countryrecord of Bachia blairi, new behavior and maximum size for Oophaga vicentei, and the second known specimen ofNorops triumphalis.
