Vomerine teeth in two straight or slightly oblique series on a 

 level -with the front edge of the choanse. Snout rounded ; canthus 

 rostralis distinct ; loreal region concave ; nostril halfway between 

 the eye and the tip of the snout ; interorbital space broader than the 

 upper eyelid ; tympanum somewhat more than half the width of the 

 eye. Fingers and toes webbed to the disks, which are as large as 

 the tympanum ; subarticular tubercles well developed ; a rather 

 large, but not very prominent, inner metatarsal tubercle. The hind 

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

 lation reaches nearly the tip of the snout. Skin smooth above, 

 granular beneath ; a fold above the tympanum. Yiolet or blue- 

 green above, immaculate. Male with an internal vocal sac.

 choanse. Snout rounded ; canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region 

 slightly concave : nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip of 

 the snout ; interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum 

 three fourths the width of the eye. Fingers and toes webbed to 

 the disks, which are as large as the tympanum ; subarticular tubercles 

 moderate ; a small inner metatarsal tubercle. The hind limb being 

 carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 between the eye and the tip of the snout. Skin smooth, granular on 

 the belly and under the thighs ; a fold round the tympanum ; a 

 cutaneous fringe along the forearm, the fourth finger, the tarsus, 

 and the fifth toe ; a transverse flap of skin above the vent and
