occupies about two-thirds of the whole body. On the back there is 

 usualty a pale yellowish-brown pentagonal or diamond shaped mark. 

 My experience of these tadpoles was much the same as Flower's; at 

 different times I obtained tadpolos of this genus belonging to three or

 Distribution. — Kashmir, India, Ceylon, Burma, Southern China, 

 Cambodia, Siam, Malay Peninsula. (Flower.)
