ART. 25 CHINESE AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES STEJNEGER 15 



above, including upper surfaces of head and legs, densely tubercular, 

 the tubercles apparently without any definite arrangement in rows, 

 except perhaps on the tibia ; a slight fold from, eye to foreleg, chiefly 

 indicated by a groove in front of it; underneath smooth, except 

 belly, which is granular. 



Color (in alcohol) : Drab gray above, whitish beneath; a blackish 

 zigzag crossband from shoulder to shoulder, overlying a fainter, 

 more brownish median dorsal mark from between eyes to sacrum, 

 with a lateral oblique projection extending backwards half way 

 between axilla and groin; no anal or post-femoral spots; legs more 

 or less distinctly cross-barred; no trace of a dark lateral band on 

 head or body ; no pale line down the middle of the back.

Remarks. — This new species, which I take great pleasure in nam- 

 ing for its discoverer, does not seem to be very closely related to any 

 of the known species. In its dorsal tubercles, though not quite as 

 rough, it recalls M. grahami, but in other characters it differs widely. 

 As in so many Microhylas the color pattern is quite characteristic. 

 In certain respects it recalls M. fissipes, but the lateral projection of 

 the median dorsal spot are more anterior, and the dark band on the 

 sides of head and body is entirely absent.
