interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum 

 very distinct, 3 / g the diameter of the eye. Tips of fingers 

 feebly dilated, without distinct disks; disks of toes small, but 

 distinct ; first finger extending beyond second ; toes nearly 

 entirely webbed ; subarticular tubercles prominent ; a well- 

 developed, oval, blunt inner, and a small, oval outer metatarsal 

 tubercle ; no tarsal fold ; the heel reaches beyond the tip of 

 the snout ; tibia 2 / 3 the length from snout to vent. 



Smooth or rather rough above ; a very narrow dorsolateral 

 fold ; sides with' a few folds ; smooth beneath. 



Uniform olive above; a rather broad brown streak below 

 the canthus rostralis and a large brown temporal spot ; limbs 

 with brown cross-bars ; posterior surfaces of thighs with large 

 and long black spots in a white network; lower parts uniform 

 yellowish white. From snout to vent 48 mm. 



The absence of real disks on the fingers is the only character 

 separating this species from R. papua, with which it probably 

 must be united. 



Habitat: Wetar.
