Rabb's fringe-limbed treefrog

(Ecnomiohyla rabborum)

Description

Ecnomiohyla rabborum was a relatively large frog.The snout-vent length (SVL) of males averaged between 62 to 97 mm (2.4 to 3.8 in),while in females it was between 61 to 100 mm (2.4 to 3.9 in).The head was wider than the body and flattened at the top.The snout was moderately long with nostrils protruding from the sides near the tip.Viewed from the top,the snout was more or less elliptical in shape.The canthal ridge was concave (curves outward) and had thick and rounded edges.The loreal regions were similarly concave.The tympana was smaller in diameter than the eyes and slightly inclined.Smooth glandular structures (known as the supratympanic fold) extended over the tympana from the eyes to the edges of the lower jaw.The tongue was round,and the species possessed narrowly spaced ovoid groups of pre-vomerine teeth.
