This species has been reported previously from Nicaragua by several

authors. All our specimens were netted over small streams or shot as

they foraged; parts of scarabids and lepidopterans were found in the

mouths of several individuals shot at Finca Amayo. Twenty-six of 31

autopsied females taken in April were pregnant, each containing a

single embryo--average crown-rump length 16.7 (5-26) mm. Testes of 15

males collected in April had an average length of 4.6 (2-7) mm, those

of four taken in June, 5.2 (4-6) mm.

We follow Cabrera (1958:55), Husson (1962:63), and Handley (1966b:758)

in use of the subspecific name _labialis,_ the type locality of which

is the "Mosquito shore" of Nicaragua, rather than Peru as suggested by

Hershkovitz (1949:433-434).
