Description. — Adult male, USNM 97765, Novo Friburgo, Rio de 

 Janeiro. Vomerine teeth in two heavy, short, nearly contiguous 

 patches between the posterior choanal borders; maxillary teeth well 

 developed; tongue over two-thirds the width of mouth-opening, 

 rounded, free behind and with a very slight indentation; a small 

 toothlike process in front of lower jaw; snout broadly oval when seen 

 from above, truncate in profile, the upper jaw projecting considerably 

 beyond the lower; nostrils lateral, strongly projecting, their distance 

 from end of snout one-third that from eye, separated from each other 

 by an interval equal to their distance from eye. Canthus rostralis 

 prominent, the loreal region flat, the upper lip flaring out below it. 

 Eye large, its diameter two-thirds its distance from end of snout; 

 interorbital diameter about 1}^ times that of upper eyelid, equal to 

 distance between the nostrils. Tympanum very distinct, two-thirds 

 the width of eye, separated from eye by an interval equal to two-thirds 

 its own diameter. Fingers free but with distinct lateral dermal ridges, 

 their tips slightly widened, truncate, not grooved; fourth much longer 

 than second, which reaches to base of penultimate phalanx on third ; 

 first and second subequal ; second phalanx of fii-st finger bearing some 

 minute black tubercles in the male, with a much larger pad of tubercles 

 on the basal part and a few scattered tubercles along the corresponding 

 parts of the second finger; subarticular and palmar tubercles well 

 developed; toes un webbed, but with distinct lateral dermal ridges, 

 their disks slightly larger than those of fingers, third a little longer 

 than fifth, reaching to base of antepenultimate phalanx of fourth; 

 a medium-sized inner and a small, weak, outer metatarsal tubercle; 

 no tarsal ridges. Body rather stout, in postaxillar}^ region a little 

 narrower than greatest width of head. When hind leg is adpressed, 

 heel reaches to nostril; when limbs are laid along the body, knee and 

 elbow overlap; when hind legs are bent at right angles to body, heels 

 considerably overlap. Skin of upper parts coarsely glandular, the 

 glands becoming elongate and wartlike on the sides of the body; a very
