Abundantly different from H. arborea. ‘The vomerine teeth are 
more posterior, being situated on a level with, and extending some- 
what beyond, the hinder edge of the choane. The head is rather 
smaller, and the loreal region more vertical. The hind limb is 
shorter, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaching only the tympanum or 
the posterior border of the eye. Blue-green above, immaculate; a 
brown streak from the tip of the snout through the eye and the 
tympanum to the shoulder; sides of body and thighs with deep 
black spots on a white ground; on the thighs the green is reduced 
to a narrow band; tarsi, feet, and hands not coloured; beneath 
whitish, immaculate. Male with a large external subgular vocal 
sac; during the breeding-season the inner side of the first digit 
bears brown rugosities. From snout to vent 39 millim, 
Southern China.
