Vomerine teeth in two short oblique series extending a 

 little behind the level of the choanae. Head a little broader 

 than long; snout more or less pointed, feebly projecting, as 

 long as the upper eyelid, longer than deep; canthus rostralis 

 obtuse, straight; loreal region oblique, concave; nostril equi- 

 distant from eye and tip of snout or a little nearer the first; 

 interorbital space much narrower than the upper eyelid ; 

 tympanum distinct, i j 2 to 2 / 3 width of eye. Tips of fingers 

 and toes obtuse ; first finger extending beyond second, which 

 is as long as fourth ; toes nearly entirely webbed ; outer meta- 

 tarsals separated nearly to the base; subarticular tubercles 

 moderate; a blunt, oblong inner, no outer metatarsal tubercle 

 a very feeble dermal ridge along the outer side of fifth toe 

 a tarsal fold ; the heel reaches the eye or the tip of the snout 

 tibia about l j 2 length of head and body; when the hind limbs 

 are folded at right angles to the body, the heels are overlapping. 



Upper surfaces with oblong warts; a transverse fold between 

 the posterior edges of the eyelids may be present; a fold 

 above the tympanum; smooth beneath. 



Olive, indistinctly marbled with dark, above; lips with dark 

 vertical bars; limbs with dark cross bars; posterior surface of

 allied, by the presence of oblong warts instead of longitudinal 

 ridges on the back, and the rudimentary ridge along the outer toe.
