Abstract
Breeding times for the veined frog, Phrynohyas venulosa (Salientia: Hy lidae) from northeastern Argentina, are associated with a daily rainfa ll of 60 mm or more. Population dynamics, based upon capture and recap ture data, suggest a mode of 800-1080 individuals per hectare. A descr iption of reproductive behavior is given and developmental. times of 3 0-32 days are presented. At least four color pattern variations exist in this population. Hibernation occurs in tree cavities.
