Vomerine teeth in two small oblique series extending beyond 

 the hinder edge of the choanse. Head moderate ; snout pointed, 

 with distinct canthus rostralis ; interorbital space a little narrower 

 than the upper eyelid ; tympanum distinct, two thirds the width of 

 the eye. Fingers rather slender, first extending beyond second; 

 toes moderate, nearly entirely webbed ; tips of fingers and toes 

 slightljf dilated ; subarticular tubercles moderate ; a single, very 

 small, inner metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb being carried 

 forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches a good 

 deal beyond the tip of the snout. Skin smooth above ; a strong 

 fold above the tympanum ; belly slightly granular. Brownish 

 grey above, with subsymmetrical darker spots ; a subtriangular spot 

 between the eyes ; a black band below the canthus rostralis and on
