This species was recently separated from Boana crepitans ( Orrico et al. 2017) . A large-sized tree frog having its dorsal surfaces pinkish tan with some darker brown spots, blotches or other markings; dark bars on the upper sur- faces of the thighs extending onto the rear surfaces of the thighs; ventral surface orange, except for the throat and chest, which are white with some brown flecking. Boana xerophylla may be confused with B. boans and B. pugnax (species distributed in the Magdalena river valley) due to similarities in body size and coloration. However, it may be distinguished by its horizontal pupil and its iris that is pale gray at the center and greenish yellow at the edges (in contrast to a rhomboid pupil with an iris that is black at the center and light orange at the edges in B. boans , and a horizontal pupil with an iris that is black at the center and greenish in the upper portion in B. pugnax ).

Material examined. Table 1.

A small hylid frog with a snout that is short, rounded in dorsal view and slightly rounded in lateral view; head wider than long; skin on dorsal surfaces smooth, with some minute scattered tubercles; axillary membrane present and developed; dorsum reddish brown in females and cream or silver gray in males (Rivera-Correa and Guitérrez-Cárdenas 2012). Dendropsophus norandinus may be distinguished from D. bogerti by having the head wider than long (longer than wide in D. bogerti ) and by having finger webbing that extends to the base of the disks of toes I, II, and III (finger webbing absent in D. bogerti ), from D. subocularis by lacking light bands con- necting eye to edge of lips, and from D. microcephalus by its webbed fingers (fingers free in D. microcephalus ).

Dendropsophus subocularis — Faivovich et al. 2005: 93.

Material examined. Table 1.

A small hylid frog with short snout; canthus rostralis very marked; fingers webbed at base about toes I– III; toes webbed nearly to disks of III and V; skin of dorsum smooth and skin of vent rugose ( Dunn 1934). Dendropsophus subocularis co-occurs with D. microcephalus and D. norandinus in the Magdalena river valley. It may be distinguished from both by the presence of 2 light bands from the eye to the edge of the lips, enclosing a bar of dark between them (absent in the latter 2 species), and from D. microcephalus by its webbed fingers (fingers free in D. microcephalus ).
