Microbatrachylus Dec 28 18.6 mi E (by road) San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico Gary Beeman caught a strange small Eleuthro dactylid in a stream about 4-6 feet wide and 1/2 to 1 foot deep that flows through the dense broad-leaf forest here. The stream bottom is either silty and rocky, or just rocky. Gary said he got it while chasing a large Anolis. It was under a rock. In life it was reddish-yellow-green mottled with dash olivaceous. Dec 29. Gary caught another, much smaller frog that appears to be the same species. It was under a rock in the stream. It was dark, reddish-brown with 2 lighter transverse bars on the back. These are very delicate frogs, and die readily when exposed to the sun or when handled. It was collected in the trash of a banana plantation far from water.
