One specimen, 26 mm. from nose to vent. 



The specimen agreeg completely with Peter's description, 

 but differs from his figure having the dark markings between 

 the eye and on the sacral region with very distinct limits, 

 which are darker than their centres; on the figure quoted 

 the hmits are rather indistinct. Furthermore, the narrow 

 dark stripes on the tibia are replaced by a single very broad 

 black-edged crossband; beside this there is a transverse dark 

 spöt on the tarso-metatarsal articulation. Yet, I believe the 

 specimen belongs to this species.
