The leg carried forward along the side of the body, the metatar- 

 sal tubercles reaches the posterior margin of the orbit. 



Upper parts covered with small irregular (in size) warts, no 

 evident poores; lower part with smaller, more regular and close 

 set warts, giving a granular appearance. 



Tongue elliptical, its width i^ in its length. 



Color above brownish. Upper surface of head from middle of 

 orbits to nostrils, brownish gray; this color continues in a narrow 

 band downward on end of snout. 



The smaller specimen has three pairs of faint burnt-like spots 

 with narrow black margins on the back, the first between hinder 

 margins of orbit, the second between posterior ends of parotids, 

 and the third on the middle of the back; these spots are about 

 the size of the tympanum. Legs and arms with a few cross bars, 

 under parts uniform light colored. 



This species resembles Bufo regularis, Reuss from which it dif- 

 fers in being less robust, having the snout more pointed, the 

 tympanum much smaller, the parotids and warts more developed, 

 and in the anterior half of the head brownish gray.
