Ixalus vittatus, Bouleng. Ann. Mus. Genova, (2) v, 1887, p. 421, pi. iv, 

 fig- 2. 



Snout pointed, scarcely longer than the diameter of the orbit ; 

 canthus rostralis obtuse ; loreal region slightly concave ; nostril 

 slightly nearer to the end of the snout than to the eye ; interorbital 

 space broader than the upper eyelid ; tympanum hidden. Fingers 

 with a rudiment of web ; toes three-fourths webbed ; disks well 

 developed ; a very feeble inner metatarsal tubercle. The tibio-tarsal 

 articulation reaches the eye. Skin smooth, granular on the belly 

 and under the thighs. Yellowish above, closely speckled with 

 brown ; the specks densest on the side of the head, where they 

 form a darker band passing through the eye ; a broad yellowish- 

 white lateral band, continued forwards as a narrow line along the 

 edge of the upper eyelid and the canthus rostralis to the tip of the 

 snout, where it unites with its fellow on the other side ; lower 

 surfaces white. 



From snout to vent 1 inch.

Snout slightly pointed, a little shorter than the diameter of the 

 orbit ; canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region very slightly concave ;

 Fingers with a rudiment of web ; toes half or two-thirds webbed ; 

 disks well developed ; a very small inner metatarsal tubercle. The

 under the thighs ; a fold from the eye to the shoulder. Green (blue 

 or purple in spirit) above, usually uniform, sometimes with small 

 black spots ; a purplish-brown streak on canthus rostralis and 

 usually on temporal fold ; loreal region white, uniform, or with 

 purplish-brown spots, or purplish brown uniform or dotted with 

 whitish ; arms, and often forearms, colourless ; thighs colourless
