Head very small : snout rounded, as long as the orbital diameter; 

 tympanum hiddi n. Fingers half webbed ; toes three-fourths webbed.

 granulate on the belly and under the thighs ; no strong fold across 

 the chest. Greenish or blackish above ; a bright yellow, beneath 

 black-edged, band from the tip of the snout through the eye along 

 each side of the body ; thighs, bands, and feet bright yellow.
