Description. — Male, USNM 87612, Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Dis- 

 tricto Federal. Vomerine teeth in two long, heavy, transverse, 

 narrowly separated groups between the posterior borders of the 

 choanae; tongue two-thirds as wide as mouth opening, rounded, 

 notched, and nearly entirely attached behind; snout somewhat 

 elongate and angular, pointed when viewed from above, also bluntly 

 pointed in profile and steeply declivous, the upper jaw projecting 

 greatly beyond the lower; nostrils superolateral, projecting, their dis- 

 tance from end of snout about half that from anterior border of eye, 

 separated from each other by an interval equal to two-thirds their 

 distance from eye. Canthus rostralis not defined, loreal region sloping 

 and slightly concave. Eye large, prominent, its diameter equal to 

 its distance from the nostril; interorbital diameter about 1% the width 

 of upper eyelid which is relatively very narrow, almost twice as great 

 as distance between nostrils. Tjonpanum very distinct, about two- 

 fifths the diameter of the eye, separated from eye by an interval not 

 quite equal to its own diameter. Fingers webbed only at the base, 

 fourth much longer than second but not nearly reaching disk of third, 

 which covers about one-half the tympanic area; a well-developed 

 tubercle at base of first finger, and a flat, semidivided palmar tubercle; 

 subarticular tubercles very well developed; toes three-fourths webbed, 

 fifth slightly longer than third, disk of fourth covering about one-half 

 tympanic area; a distinct projecting inner and a smaller outer meta- 

 tarsal tubercle; no tarsal ridge; no dermal appendage on heel. Body 

 not elongate, in the postaxiallary region slightly narrower than the 

 greatest diameter of head. When hind leg is adpressed, heel reaches 

 nostril; when limbs are laid along the sides, knee and elbow overlap
