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.
