by a smaller tympanum. The dace of the latter equals one 
third or one half -the diameter of the eye, and equals in size the 
digital disks. Upper surfaces covered with large flat warts ; derm 
oe parotoid region thickened, limited by a strong fold above the 
tympanum. Brown above, generally with small black round spots ; 
generally a broad white band from the upper eyelid to the loin ; 
limbs not, or indistinctly, cross-barred; lower surfaces whitish, 
immaculate. rom snout to vent 62 millim.

Tongue circular, entire, and slightly free behind. Vomerine teeth 
in a straight interrupted series on a level with the hinder edge of 
the choane. Head broader than long; snout short, rounded, 
scarcely longer than the diameter of the orbit; canthus rostralis 
rounded; loreal region concave; interorbital space as broad as the 
upper eyelid; tympanum two thirds the diameter of the eye. 
Fingers one-third webbed; toes nearly entirely webbed; disks of 
fingers nearly as large as the tympanum, of toes a little smaller; 
subarticular tubercles very prominent; a slight tarsal fold. The 
hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal 
articulation reaches between the eye and the tip of the snout. 
Upper surfaces with small smooth warts ; a strong fold from the 
upper eyelid to the shoulder; throat, belly, and lower surface of 
thighs largely granulate. The back covered by a large dark 
reddish-brown spot, distinctly limited from the light reddish brown 
of the remaining parts, but blending posteriorly into the light 
coloration of the hind limbs; the anterior limit of this spot is a 
straight line drawn across the front of the interorbital space and 
the upper eyelids; the lateral borders of this spot, to the sacral 
region, very light, almost white; limbs immaculate ; lower surfaces 
whitish, immaculate. From snout to vent 46 millim.
