A New Hylid Frog from Eastern Mexico. University of Kansas Publication, Vol 1, No 15

"A New Hylid Frog from Eastern Mexico" by Edward Harrison Taylor is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work documents the discovery and description of a new species of frog from the genus "Hyla", specifically identified as "Hyla proboscidea". The book is likely intended for researchers and enthusiasts in herpetology, contributing to the understanding of amphibian biodiversity in Eastern Mexico. In this publication, Taylor presents detailed morphological descriptions of "Hyla proboscidea", including measurements, coloration, and distinguishing features that set it apart from related species. The type specimens were collected in Veracruz, Mexico, and the author notes certain unique characteristics, such as the bulbous projection on the snout and the webbing of the digits, which are essential for identifying this newly recognized species. Taylor also discusses the potential relationships between "Hyla proboscidea" and other species within the "Hyla" genus, emphasizing the ongoing potential for discoveries in the well-explored regions of Mexican fauna. Overall, this publication provides valuable insights into taxonomy and morphology within the context of amphibian studies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
