“Pupil erect. Tongue circular or pyriform, entire or nicked 
and free behind. Vomerine teeth in two small groups, if present. 
Tympanum distinct or hidden under the skin. Fingers free, toes 
free or shortly webbed; outer metatarsals united. Sternum with 
a bony style. Coccyx, if distinct from the sacral vertebra, with 
simple articulation.” (Boulenger.) 
Key to the Philippine species of Megalophrys Kuhl. 
a’. Eyelid with dermal spine. 
6’. Males with an internal vocal sac; without vomerine teeth. 
M. stejnegeri sp. nov. 
b®. Males with vocal sacs; vomerine teeth present........ M. ligaye sp. nov. 
6°. Males without vocal sac; vomerine teeth present.. M. montana (Kuhl). 
a’, Eyelid without dermal spine; no vomerine teeth; males with vocal sac. 
M. hasselti (Tschudi). 
The genus has been admirably reviewed by Boulenger; ** he 
has included figures of six species. The species of the genus 
are confined to southeastern Asia, the Malayan Archipelago, and 
the Philippines. Whether three or four species should be in- 
cluded in the Philippine fauna is stilla question. Before this can 
be considered settled, a reéxamination of Philippine specimens 
in European museums referred to M. montana will be necessary. 
I include that species as doubtfully belonging to our fauna.
