Some individuals of all species have tongues that are shallowly notched posteriorly.Color and PatternThe dorsum in living frogs of the genus Ptychohyla is primarily yellowish or reddish brown, except in P. schmidtorum chamulae and P. ignicolor in which it is green.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Variation in the Muscles and Nerves of the Leg in Two Genera of Grouse (Tympanuchus and Pedioecetes)" by E. Bruce Holmes is a study about two closely related genres of grouse. The purposes of this study were: (1) to obtain information on individual variation in the anatomy of the muscles and nerves of the leg of Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus (Greater Prairie Chicken), T. c. attwateri (Attwater's Prairie Chicken), T. pallidicinctus (Lesser Prairie Chicken), and Pedioecetes phasianellus jamesi (Sharp-tailed Grouse); (2) to determine whether or not the two species of the genus Tympanuchus differ constantly in the myology of the leg; and (3) to determine what constant differences in the myology of the leg exist between the two closely related genera Tympanuchus and Pedioecetes.
