Abstract
While our knowledge of anuran embryonic and larval surface ciliation and their diversity of
ciliation patterns are significant, very few references were noticed on embryonic ciliation in direct-developing
anurans, such as species in the genus Eleutherodactylus. Eleutherodactylus urichi embryos were found to
have surface ciliated cells during much of their development until a few days before hatching. Ciliation was
most prominent on the pharyngeal region and on the tail fins, both regions believed to have a respiratory role,
and supporting the hypothesis that embryonic ciliation in amphibians serves principally to aid respiration by
moving intracapsular fluid. The limb-buds were also well ciliated, an evolutionary novelty since in most
anurans with a tadpole stage, surface ciliation regresses before limbs show significant development.
