Scinax ruber
— Kölher and Böhme 1996: 139.
Material examined.
Table 1.
A medium-sized frog with toes webbed except for the innermost; dorsal surfaces generally olive brown or orange-brown; distinct black and white markings on posterior surfaces of thighs. Related species which may be confused with
Scinax ruber
are
S. boulengeri
and
S. rostratus
(also distributed in the
Magdalena
river val- ley) from both of these it differs by its smaller size and the presence of black markings on the thighs in form of vermiculations instead of broad and vertical dark bands (
Cochran and Goin 1970
).
Scinax ruber
is also similar to
Smilisca phaeota
from which it differs by lacking green coloration in the rostral region, and to
Smilisca sila
from which it differs by the absence of blue spots on the flanks and posterior surfaces of the thighs.
