Description. — BM 98.4.28.99 (a syntype), from Cachabe, Ecuador. 

 Frontoparietal area not noticeably depressed. Vomerine teeth in two 

 heavy, arc-shaped, slightly separated, nearly transverse series behind 

 the choanae; tongue half as wide as mouth opening, broadly oval, its 

 posterior border free and very faintly notched, snout moderately long, 

 rounded when viewed from above and in profile, the upper jaw ex- 

 tending well beyond the lower. Nostrils dorsolateral, slightly project- 

 ing, their distance from end of snout two-thirds their distance from 

 eye. Can thus rostralis rounded; loreal region flat above, then sloping 

 outwards to the upper lip. Eye large, very prominent, its diameter 

 equal to its distance from tip of snout; interorbital diameter three- 

 fourths that of upper eyelid; equal to interval between nostrils. Tympa- 

 num small, its greatest diameter one-third that of eye, separated from 

 eye by an interval equal to two-thirds its own diameter. Fingers very 

 short, their tips bulbous, but not dilated into disks, without lateral 

 ridges, free, first finger a little longer than second, fourth longer than 

 either and reaching halfway on the terminal phalanx of third; a large 

 swollen thumb pad present; a small bifid palmar callus; metacarpal 

 tubercles well developed. Toes moderately long, one-half webbed, and 

 all with well developed disks, third toe longer than fifth, its disk 

 reaching to base of antepenultimate phalanx of fourth; disk of fourth 

 toe covering half of the tympanum; a heavy tarsal ridge, ending 

 two-thirds of distance to heel; a heavy skinfold on heel and knee. 

 Body stout, in postaxillary region nearly equal to greatest width of 

 head. When hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches just beyond tip of 

 snout; when limbs are laid along the sides, knee and elbow overlap; 

 when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, heels fail to meet.
