THE TADPOLE OF HYLA-GRANOSA (ANURA, HYLIDAE) FROM SOUTHEASTERN VENEZUELA

It is described the tadople of Hyla granosa Boulenger 1882, based on t wo lots from La Gran Sabana, Estado Bolivar, southeastern Venezuela. T he larva is distinguished from the other known larvae of the H. granos a group (H. sibleszi Rivero, 1961), by the combination of characters a s follow: keratodont rows formula 2/4, oral marginal papillae small, b lunts and in double rows, lateral indentation present, nares opening r eniform, spiracular opening directed posteriorly. Seemingly Hyla grano sa could reach the climax configuration of the external morphology at relatively advanced developmental stages. Since the brief data availab le on larvae, a definition of the H. granosa group based on larval mor phology is not possible.
