pis. IV; V; X, fig. 4. 

 Hylophorbus rufescens Fry, Mem. Queensland Mus., II, 1913, p. 48. 



Tongue broadly oval, entire, with a longitudinal furrow, 

 slightly free behind. Head subtriangular, a little broader than 

 long; snout obtusely pointed, shorter than the orbit; canthus 

 rostralis distinct; loreal region nearly vertical, concave; nostril 

 nearer the tip of the snout than the eye; interorbital space 

 as broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum as large as the eye. 

 Fingers and toes with small disks; first finger shorter than 

 second; subarticular tubercles strong; a feeble oval inner meta- 

 tarsal tubercle; the heel reaches the eye. 



Skin smooth; sometimes several fine folds along the back; 

 chin with a pair of more or less distinct small warts. 



Grey or brown above, with small blackish spots and a broad 

 black streak on each side of the back from the eye to the 

 groin; a dark blotch below the eye; the warts of the chin 

 white; a black streak on the posterior surface of the thighs; 

 brownish or white beneath, dotted and spotted with blackish. 

 Length 55 mm. 



Male with a subgular vocal sac. 



The ovary contains but few, large eggs (diameter 4,3 — 5 mm.); 

 the development is therefore probably direct (v. Mehely). 



Habitat: New Guinea (Sattelberg; Mt. Victoria, Owen 

 Stanley range ; Rigo, near Kapa Kapa ; Moroka, Bartholomew 

 range, 700 m. ; Katow).
