Vomerine teeth in short oblique series between the choante, 

 nearer the latter than to each other. 



Head much depressed, longer than broad ; snout obtusely 

 pointed, a little longer than the eye, scarcely projecting beyond the 

 mouth ; canthus rostralis distinct ; loreal region nearly vertical, 

 concave ; nostril much nearer the tip of the snout than the eye ; 

 distance between the nostrils equal to the interorbital width, which 

 is a little greater than that of the upper eyelid ; tympanum verj' 

 distinct, J the diameter of the eye and 3 times its distance from 

 the latter. 



Fingers long and rather slender, the tips dilated into very 

 small discs which are longer than broad and have the upper sur- 

 face separated from the lower by a groove; first finger a little 

 longer than the second, third a little longer than the snout ; sub- 

 articular tubercles moderate. 



Hind limb rather long and slender, the tibio-tarsal articula- 

 tion reaching between the eye and the tip of the snout, the heels 

 strongly overlapping when the limbs are folded at right angles to 

 the body ; tibia 6 times as long as broad, J the length of head and 

 body, shorter than the fore limb, as long as the foot. Toes with 

 the tips dilated like the fingers , f webbed ; outer metatarsals 

 separated nearly- to the base ; subarticular tubercles rather small ; 

 no tarsal fold ; inner metatarsal tubercle oval, feebly prominent, 

 5- the length of the inner toe ; a small, round outer tubercle. 



Skin smooth; a narrow glandular dorsolateral fold, from 

 above the tympanum to the hip, its distance from its fellow, on 

 the back, 6 times in the length from snout to vent. 



Orange above, without spots on the back or bars on the limbs ; 

 a black band along each side of the head and body; upper lip, 

 canthus rostralis, and dorso-lateral fold white; terminal discs of 

 toes black ; lower parts white.

 and from the ethmoid, the upper part of which is uncovered and
