Tongue subcircular or suboval, entire or slightly nicked, adherent. 

 Vomerine teeth between the large choanae, in two series forming a 

 /~\ or a 0. Habit slender, somewhat like Rana agilis. Head as 

 long as broad, or a little longer than broad ; snout subacuminate, 

 measuring about once and one third the diameter of the orbit ; the 

 distance between the nostril and the eye equals the diameter of the 

 latter ; canthus rostralis angular, straight ; loreal region not very 

 oblique, slightly concave ; interorbital space as broad as the upper 

 eyelid ; tympanum very distinct, about two thirds the width of the 

 eye. A very slight web between the three outer fingers, none 

 between the inner ; a slight rudiment of pollex ; toes two-thirds 

 webbed ; disks of fingers and toes much smaller than the tympanum ; 

 subarticular tubercles well developed. The bind limb being carried 

 forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation readies the 

 tip of the snout or beyond ; the tibia measures the distance from 

 axilla to vent, or somewhat less. Skin smooth, granular on the 

 belly and under the thighs ; a narrow, straight, glandular fold from 

 the eye above the tympanum, lost at a small distauce beyond the 

 vertical of the shoidder. Greyish or reddish brown above, generally 

 with more or less distinct dark bands across the head, body, and 

 limbs ; sometimes a dark vertebral line ; sides of head and of limbs 

 dark brown ; lower lip white, with a brown margin ; beneath whitisb, 

 immacidate. Male with an external gular vocal sac. From snout
