This specimen was collected 1.4 miles southwest (by road) of the southwest edge of Huatusco de Chicuéllar, Veracruz, Mexico by R. W. McDiarmid and R. D. Worthington on 16 January 1969. It made available to The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for scanning by Dr. David Cannatella of The University of Texas and the Amphibian Tree of Life project (EF-0334952). Funding for scanning and image processing was provided by Dr. Cannatella's grant, and funding for additional image processing was provided by a National Science Foundation Digital Libraries Initiative grant to Dr. Timothy Rowe of The University of Texas at Austin.
