Snout pointed, prominent, generally longer than the orbital 

 diameter; canthus rostralis angular; loreal region flat, vertical; 

 nostril halfway between the eye and the tip of the snout ; inter- 

 orbital space as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum small, 

 indistinct. Fingers free, toes entirely webbed ; disks of fingers and 

 toes rather small ; subarticular tubercles small ; a smaU 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 above and beneath ; a narrow 

 glandular lateral fold ; a fold from the eye to the shoulder. Brown 

 above ; sides of head and body generally darker ; limbs cross-barred ; 

 hinder side of thighs dark brown, with a more or less accentuated 

 light stripe along the middle ; whitish beneath, marbled with brown.

This species resembles in size and general appearance the preceding 

 one, from which it may be easily distinguished by the absence of a 

 papilla in the middle of the tongue. It does not exhibit the bright 

 pink colour which is seen on the lower surface of the thighs, and 

 sometimes on the belly, in T. opisthorJiodus.
