Very closely allied to the preceding species, from which it differs 
in the greater length of the palpebral horn-like appendage, and 
especially in the presence of a similar appendage on the tip of the 
snout. In full-grown individuals the skin becomes entirely adherent 
to the skull, and the skin of the back is hardened by bony deposits, 
thus bearing great analogy to the dorsal shield of several species 
of Ceratophrys. This occurs also, but to a lesser degree, in the 
preceding species,
