Vomerine teeth in two small oblique scries behind the choante ; 

 lower jaw with two more or less developed tooth-like prominences 

 in front. Head moderate ; snout short, without canthus rostralis ; 

 eyes prominent, turned upwards ; upper ej-elid rather narrow ; in- 

 terorbital space generally bi^oader than the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 hidden. Fingers moderate, first extending a little beyond second ; 

 toes broadly webbed, fourth only one fifth longer than fifth, the 

 tips dilated into small disks ; subarticular tubercles of fingers and 

 toes well developed ; inner metatarsal tubercle elongate, narrow, 

 blunt ; no outer tubercle. The hind limb being carried forwards 

 along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches usually the eye 

 or scarcely beyond, sometimes the tip of the snout. Above with 

 short longitudinal glandular folds or rounded tubercles, sometimes 

 nearly smooth, except upon the tibiae. Brown above, with a rather 

 indistinct light cross band between the eyes ; sometimes a light 

 vertebral stripe. Male without vocal sac.

Vomerine teeth in two oblique oval groups behind the level of the 

 hinder edge of the choanag ; lower jaw with two bony prominences 

 in front, acute and directed backwards in the adult male. Head 

 large, triangular, especially in the adult male ; snout short ; sub- 

 acuminate, with rounded canthus rostralis ; interorbital space broader 

 than the upper eyelid ; tympanum scarcely distinct, two thirds the 

 size of the eye. Fingers moderate, first not extending beyond 

 second ; toes moderate, nearly entirely webbed ; tips of toes dilated 

 into very small disks ; subarticular tubercles well developed ; inner 

 metatarsal tubercle large, elongate, blunt ; no outer tubercle. The 

 hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal 

 articulation reaches nearly the tip of the snout. Upper parts with 

 small elongated warts and rounded tubercles ; a glandular fold 

 above the tympanum. Brown above, indistinctl}' marbled with 

 darker ; a light, dark-edged vitta between the upper eyelids ; legs
