panum feebly distinct, vertically oval, its vertical diameter 2 / 3 

 the diameter of the orbit and as large as the distance from 

 eye to tympanum. Fingers and toes with very small disks; 

 first finger a little shorter than second; third toe much longer 

 than fifth; subarticular tubercles distinct; an indistinct oval 

 inner metatarsal tubercle; the heel reaches the tympanum or 

 the eye, the tarso-metatarsal articulation the eye or the tip 

 of the snout. 



Smooth above, with some scattered small tubercles on back 

 and limbs; some pointed dermal appendages on the upper 

 eyelid, one of which, situated close to the middle of the outer 

 border, being more prominent than the other ones; a bony 

 ridge from the eye to the anterior border of the tympanum 

 and a stronger one from the eye to above and behind the 

 tympanum; a median low bony ridge on the head; almost 

 smooth beneath; sides with rather large tubercles. 



Brown above (in life brownish green, with a few dark dots); 

 sides and lower surface lighter, with dark marblings; sides 

 of head dark brown. From snout to vent 48 mm. 



Type specimens in the Leiden Museum examined. This 

 examination has shown that this species belongs to the Brevi- 

 cipitidae and the genus is closely allied with Xenorliina. The 

 sacral diapophyses are moderately dilated. 



Habitat: New Guinea! (Lobo ; Torricelli mts. r 1 )).
