cO BREVIORA Miasenam of Compsirative Zoology Cambridge, Mass. November 12, 19G4 Number 208 THREE NEW SPECIES OF FROGS (LEPTODACTYLIDAE, ELEUTHERODACTYLUS) FROM HISPANIOLA By Albert Schwartz 10,000 S.W. 84th Street, Miami, Florida Among specimens collected during the summer of 1962 in southwestern Haiti are representatives of two undescribed species of Eleutherodactylus, both of which belong to the ricordi group. A third new species from the Republica Dominicana was taken during the summer of 1963 ; the affinities of this third species are distinctly with species from Haiti, and it is ap-propriate to describe the three new forms in a single paper. In Hispaniola, I have had the capable assistance of Miss Patricia A. Heinlein, and Messrs. Ronald F. Klinikowski, Dennis R. Paulson, David C. Leber and Richard Thomas. For significant comparative material I wish to thank Dr. Doris M. Cochran, United States National Museum (USNM), and Dr. Ernest E. Williams, Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), whose as-sistance in these studies is very deeply appreciated. The il-lustrations are the work of Mr. Leber, and I wish to thank him and the above mentioned persons for their assistance in the field. The types have been given to the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Paratypes of the new forms have been deposited in the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and the Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas (KU) ; material in my own collection is designated as the Albert Schwartz Field Series (ASFS). In July 1962, during a stay at Camp Perrin in Haiti, Mr. Leber took an especially interesting and rather large frog from a nearby cave during a diurnal visit. Nocturnal visits to the cave resulted in the taking of no more specimens of this frog, so that
