Description. — Adult female, USNM 52610, Toca da Onga, Bahia. 

 Vomerine teeth in two very heavy y \-shaped patches nearly con- 

 tinuous medially between and behind the large choanae; tongue more 

 than two-thirds the width of mouth-opening, broadly cordiform, very 

 deeply notched on its free posterior border; snout short, rounded when 

 viewed from above and in profile, the upper jaw slightly extending 

 beyond the lower; nostrils more lateral than superior, slightly pro- 

 jecting, their distance from end of snout about three-fifths that to eye, 

 separated from each other by an interval almost as great as their 

 distance from eye. Can thus rostralis fairly prominent; loreal region 

 concave, slightly oblique, the area below it flaring moderately to the 

 edge of the lip. Eye large, very prominent, its diameter almost as 

 great as its distance from end of snout; interorbital diameter about 

 equal to width of upper eyelid, slightly greater than distance between 

 nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, moderate, about one-half the 

 diameter of eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to about one- 

 third its own diameter. Fingers webbed only at the base, fourth much 

 longer than second, reaching to base of disk of third which covers 

 almost half the tympanic area; a pronounced tuberclelike pollex on 

 inner part of first finger; a faint glandular ridge along outside of fore- 

 arm; toes a little less than three-fourths webbed, third and fifth 

 subequal, disk of fourth covering almost half the tympanic area; a 

 large blunt inner and an almost imperceptible granulelike outer 

 metatarsal tubercle ; a distinct glandular ridge along inside and a very 

 faint one along outside of tarsus; a glandular ridge across heel and a 

 skinfold below heel, but no true dermal heel appendage. Body not 

 elongate, fairly heavy in build, in postaxillary region a little narrower 

 than greatest width of head; when hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches 

 well beyond tip of snout; when limbs are laid along the sides, knee and 

 elbow considerably overlap; when hind legs are bent at right angles 

 to the body, heels overlap. Skin of upper parts smooth except for 

 some very minute glandular striations on the back; a very heavy 

 glandular fold overhanging upper border of ear and dropping down 

 behind it to end above the shoulder; a weak glandular transverse line
