FIG. 20 in Review of the Frog Genus Silverstoneia, with Descriptions of Five New Species from the Colombian Chocó (Dendrobatidae: Colostethinae)

FIG. 20. The distal thigh musculature of Dendrobatoidea. Left: Reproduction of Noble's (1922: pl. XV, fig. 6) illustration of the ventral view of the distal thigh musculature of the left leg of "Hyloxalus granuliventris" (specimen now = Rheobates palmatus, AMNH A-13472). Right: Distal thigh musculature of the left leg of Colostethus imbricolus (AMNH A-102085) with muscles further deflected and the limb more extended and rotated outward to better expose the inner knee. In both illustrations the distal tendon of the m. semitendinosus is strapped to the mm. gracilis complex by a binding tendon and inserts dorsad to the mm. gracilis tendon of insertion. Note that Noble (left) referred to the binding and secondary tendons (boldface on illustration at right) as ligaments. Abbreviations: Add. Mag., m. adductor magnus*; Add. Long., m. adductor longus*; Bind. lig./tend., binding ligament/tendon; Crur., m. cruralis; Grac. complex, fused m. gracilis major and m. g. minor*; Grac. maj., m. gracilis major; Sec. lig./tend., secondary ligament/tendon; Semimebr., m. semimembranosus; Semitend., m. semitendinosus; Tend. semitend., tendon of insertion of the m. semitendinosus. (*See Grant et al. [2006: 88, fn. 6] for corrections to Noble's illustration of these muscles, and ibid. [fn. 7] for comment on the use of tendon vs. ligament.)

FIG, 1. John William Daly (1933–2008) on the upper Río San Juan. This paper is dedicated to John Daly, our late friend and colleague, who helped collect three of the new species here described. In addition to his globally acclaimed discoveries in chemistry and pharmacology, John was an accomplished field herpetologist who contributed importantly to the systematics and natural history of dendrobatoid frogs (see Grant et al., 2006; Myers, 2009). This photograph shows John at age 37, with the upper Río San Juan behind him and branches overhead of a madroño tree (probably Garcinia magnifolia, syn. Rheedia chocoensis, Clusiaceae). When in South America, John was never far from a dendrobatid frog—this time, in the tree above his head, a tiny, undescribed semiarboreal species (also collected and later named "Dendrobates fuguritus" by our colleague Philip Silverstone). Other dendrobatids found nearby included Phyllobates aurotaenia (Boulenger, 1913), which was then being used for poisoning blowgun darts, and also the nontoxic species that we name Silverstoneia dalyi herein.

Myers, 2 km above Playa de Oro, Chocó, February 16, 1971.) in Review of the Frog Genus Silverstoneia, with Descriptions of Five New Species from the Colombian Chocó (Dendrobatidae: Colostethinae)
