BATRACHIANS FROM BRITISH NEW GUINEA 709 



8. Sphenophryne biroi, Méhely. — Moroka. 



9. Callulops doriae, lilgr. — Haveri. 



10. Mantophryne lateralis, Blgr. — Uigo, Moroka. 



11. Choanacantha mehelyl, sp. n. (PI. YIII, %. 5). — Tongue 

 large, free only at the sides ; a large tooth-like process on each 

 side of the palate behind the choanae. Snout pointed, strongly 

 projecting, covered with small warts; eye very small; interorbital 

 space broad ; tympanum moderately distinct , a little larger than 

 the eye. Fingers short, pointed, first shorter than second; toes 

 slightly webbed at the base, the tips dilated into small disks; 

 subarticular and metatarsal tubercles flat, indistinct. The tibio- 

 tarsal articulations reaches the tip of the snout. Skin smooth. 

 Brown above; a dark blotch below the eye; a fine light line from 

 between the eyes to the vent and from the latter along the 

 back of the thighs and the inner side of the legs ; hinder side 

 of thighs dark brown; dirty white beneath, marbled with brown. 



From snout to vent 29 millim. 



A single specimen from Vikaiku. 



The specimen agrees in most points with the recently described 

 Choanacantha rostrata, Méhely (^), but differs in the distinguishable 

 tympanum and the somewhat longer hind limb. It also shows 

 great resemblance to Xenorhina oxycephala, Schleg., with which 

 I should feel inclined to unite it but for the fact that both 

 Peters and Giinther, wdio examined the type specimens, do not 

 mention the very prominent tooth-like processes on the palate. 

 The specimen here described further agrees with Xenorhina 

 oxycephala in the warty snout, and it is probable Giinther was 

 mistaken in attributing the latter character to the defective con- 

 dition of the type specimens. 



Mylidae. 



12. Hyla dolichopsis, Cope. — Bara Bara, Haveri, Inawi, Ra- 

 mali, Oro Bay, Maopa, Hula, Moroka.
