Dec 24 Rio Cihuatlan, 18.2 mi N (by road)
Miramar, Colima Mexico - In the early evening while night driving with Gene Hippmann + Nate Cohen we found achows of these frogs in the rocky streach of the Rio Cihuatlan. The frogs were hiding in the grass and stones at the side of the river. I found 2 under one stone about a foot in diameter, one in a clump of grass, and a small one in a small open pool. The call is like that of a strong, bouncy spring - bong! bong! bong!, about 3 calls to the second for as long as the frogs felt like calling. Gene found a ?F in a pool.
Dec25 8.1 mi N (by road) Manzanillo, Colima We got many small frogs that are apparently the same species as the ones we got calling last night, as well as a couple of adults. The frogs were everywhere in the damp grass of a cleared coconut grove by the side of a lake about 0.1 x 0.5 miles in size. I got 3 leptodiera maculata here q.v.
