Hyla crepitans
Oct. 19 5 km N. Villavieja, 1400 ft., Hula, Colombia, S. A.
I found one individual sitting in
shallow water amid rank grass in
the berona patch 5 of camp. Dr.
[illegible] found one up in a plant
(see his notes). The call is a harsh,
intermittent, rasping one. The animals
seemed to respond to my attempted
vocal imitation of the sound - a combined
throat-clearing and low vocal sound
production.
Oct. 21 One individual found about 3 ft. up
in a bush beside a pool in the quebrada
5 of camp. Another found about 1 ft. up
in a similar bush about 15-20 ft.
away. Both individuals were heard
calling.
Oct. 22 One of Museum specials set near pool
in quebrada 5 of camp (same pool mentioned
in account of this species for Oct. 22) contains
a pair in amplexus. The female was had
extruded some eggs (under the pressure
of the trap bar)
Oct. 24 A tadpole (hind legs external), probably of
this species, was brought in by Porico and
Paulino with a collection of small fish
from the quebrada 5 of camp.
