Well distinguished from the preceding by the coloration and 

 short parotoids. These are very prominent, and commence upon 

 the upper eyelids, a great part of which is covered by them ; the 

 length of the parotoid equals about the distance from its anterior 

 border to the tip of the snout. Blue-green above and beneath, ex- 

 cept on the granulate regions ; a white streak round the lower lip, 

 extending along each side of the body to the level of the nasal 

 region ; a few large white spots on the thoracic region and on the 

 sides of the belly; a large white spot on the heel ; a light line along 

 the outer edge of the tarsus and outer toe. From snout to vent 

 75 millim.
