 teeth extending outward beyond the choanae and converging back- 

 ward toward the median line, separated by a narrow interspace; 

 snout rounded, slightly longer than diameter of eye; nostrils nearer 

 the tip of the snout than the eye, the latter distance equaling the 

 internaral distance; canthal ridge indicated; lores slightly concave; 

 interorbital space much wider than upper eyelid ; fingers slender with 

 well-developed truncated disks, second equaling fourth, first 

 somewhat shorter ; subarticular and palmar tubercles prominent, the 

 one at the base of the first finger with free rounded edge ; toes long 

 and slender, tips distinctly swollen, about one-third webbed at base; 

 subarticular tubercles well developed; both metatarsal tubercles 

 strongly developed with free cutting edges, the inner much larger, the 

 outer transverse; extended hind leg reaches beyond the fore leg and
