 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

 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

 usually yellowish ; a curved blackish dorso-lateral stripe and 

 a light vertebral line or broad stripe sometimes present ; brown
