greyish above, with rounded dark spots ; legs distinctly cross-barred.

Vomerine teeth in two oblique groups between the choane. 
Head moderate, depressed ; snout subacuminate; loreal region con- 
cave; interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum 
very distinct, nearly as large as the eye, close to it. Fingers
