15. SphexophrTiVE cornuta Peters & Doria. 



Four specimens, Launch Camp, Sctekwa R. (Wollaston Exped.). 



I regard Chaperina cemtoplithahnus van Kampen, Nova Guinea, ix., Zool. p. 43, 

 pi. ii. fig. 8 (1909), as identical with this species. Dr. Gestro informs me that 

 the type preserved in the Genoa Museum has the third toe longer than the fifth ; the 

 description and figure given by Peters and Doria are therefore not quite correct. 



16. Sphenophryne klossi, sp. n. (PL XXVII. figs. 3-3 b.) 



Tongue entire. Head broader than long ; snout obtusely pointed, projecting and 

 obliquely truncate at the end, as long as the eye, with strong canthus and moderately 

 oblique, slightly concave lores ; interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid ; 

 tympanum moderately distinct, about two-thirds the diameter of the eye. Fingers 

 rather short, terminating in very small disks ; first finger not extending as far as 

 second ; toes free, with small disks, which are, however, larger than those of the 

 fingers ; subarticular and metatarsal tubercles not very prominent. The tibio-tarsal 

 articulation reaches between the eye and the tip of the snout. Skin smooth, with a 

 few small warts above and two chevron-shaped fine glandular ridges on the scapular 

 region, pointing towards each other (^<); a narrow glandular fold from behind 

 the eye to the side of the body ; a fine glandular ridge along the middle of the back. 

 Yellow above, with an interrupted blackish bar between the eyes, another, A-shaped, 

 on the scapular region, and a third on the sacral region ; loreal and temporal regions 

 blackish brown, this shade sometimes continued to the side of the body below the 

 glandular lateral fold ; limbs with dark brown cross-bars ; hinder side of thighs 

 blackish brown ; lower parts white, throat and lower surface of hind limbs mottled 

 with brown ; a fine white line from the tip of the snout to the gnlar region. 



From snout to vent 42 mm.
