 pi. VIII, fig. 4. 



Tongue entire. Head broader than long; snout rounded, 

 feebly projecting, a little shorter than the eye; canthus rostralis 

 strong; loreal region slightly oblique, concave; interorbital 

 space a little broader than the upper eyelid: tympanum distinct, 

 half the width of the eye. Tip of first finger not dilated, 

 three outer ones with very large disks, which are broader 

 than long, twice the width of the digit, and half the diameter 

 of the eye; toes with large disks, which are smaller than 

 those of the fingers ; first finger very short, not half as long 

 as second; toes free; subarticular and metatarsal tubercles 

 flat, indistinct; the heel reaches the eye. 



Upper parts with small warts and longitudinal ridges; lower 

 parts smooth. 



Grey or brown above; sides and upper surface of snout 

 usually yellowish ; a curved blackish dorso-lateral stripe and 

 a light vertebral line or broad stripe sometimes present; brown 

 or blackish beneath. From snout to vent 15 mm. 



I suggest that this species is based on the young of 0. verrucosa. 



Habitat: New Guinea (Moroka, Bartholomew range, 700 m.).
