Hyla crepitans
Nov. 19 Villavicencio, 1600 ft., Meta, Colombia, S.A.
First specimen taken at about 9:30 P.M.
Temp. of frog = air temp. = 24.3°C.;
water = 22.6°C. Air temp. (6") = 22.6°C.,
water Temp. = 24.3°C. It was sitting
at the water's edge beneath overhanging
grass 6"-10" tall. The pool was a rain
pool about 4'x8'; its maximum depth
appeared to be about 6". Also took
an amplexed pair in the water
at the edge of this pool. Later,
I took another amplexed pair in
another pool on the other (N) side
of the creek (same pool as green-backed dendrobatid
and amplexed "H. microcephala"). This
pair was in the shallow water beneath
overhanging grass and bushes. The
pool measured about 4 1/2 x 10'. The
call seems different from the calls
heard at Carbatana and near
Villavicija earlier on this trip.
Nov. 22 Saw three individuals, one about 2 1/2 ft.
up in bush, two at water's edge.
Individual in bush was about 20' from
water, about 6 ft. above stream
level. One of those at water's edge
was at edge of 4'x6' rain pool; other
was on creek banks. Both the last
