 teeth in two heavy, transverse, arc-shaped series behind the choanae; 

 tongue more than one-half as wide as mouth opening, obovate, its pos- 

 terior border free and deeply notched; snout moderately long, rounded 

 when viewed from above, slanting forward to the labial rim in profile, 

 the upper jaw extending well beyond the lower. Nostrils dorsolateral, 

 slightly projecting, their distance from end of snout two-thirds their 

 distance from eye. Can thus rostralis broad and blunt; loreal region 

 concave, sloping outwards to the upper lip. Eye large, prominent, its 

 diameter slightly less than its distance from tip of snout; interorbital 

 diameter 1% times that of upper eyelid, equal to interval between 

 nostrils. Tympanum distinct, its greatest diameter two-thirds that of 

 eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to two-thirds its own 

 diameter. Fingers slender, long, with faint lateral ridges, free, first 

 finger much longer than second or fourth and reaching beyond base 

 of terminal phalanx of third; an elongate thumb pad present; a flat, 

 heart-shaped palmar callus; metacarpal tubercles well developed.Toes 

 fairly long, unwebbed, third toe longer than fifth, its tip reaching 

 halfway on antepenultimate phalanx of fourth; a small but distinct 

 inner metatarsal tubercle and a smaller round outer one; a sharp 

 tarsal ridge, ending just before reaching heel; a heavy skinfold on 

 heel and knee. Body stout, in postaxillary region less than greatest 

 width of head. When hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches to anterior 

 border of tympanum; when limbs are laid along the sides, knee and 

 elbow barely touch; when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, 

 heels slightly overlap. Skin of upper parts nearly smooth anteriorly, 

 pustular posteriorly and on sides; venter smooth; tarsus with a few 

 scattered pustules; a heavy dorsolateral fold extending from posterior
