(Barbour, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XXIII, 1910, p. 89). 



Pupil circular. Tongue large, entire, extensively free on the 

 sides and behind. Palate toothless. Two feebly developed 

 papillose ridges across the palate in front of the pharynx. 

 Upper eyelids involved in a flap of skin, extending for some 

 distance anterior and posterior to the position of the eye. 

 Tympanum hidden. Fingers and toes free, the tips slightly dilated. 



No procoracoids, clavicles or omosternum. Terminal pha- 

 langes T-shaped. 



The only known specimen of the only species of this genus 

 was taken from the stomach of a snake. It seems possible, 

 that the genus is identical with Hylophorbus, the curious flaps 

 of skin above the eyes and other peculiarities then being 

 caused by compression. 



Distribution: New Guinea.

Pomatops valvifera Barbour, Pioc. Biol. Soc. Washington, XXIII, 1910, p. 89, pi. I. 



Habit rather slender. Head short; snout not prominent; the 

 flaps of skin above the eyes may be laid down and thus 

 completely cover the eyes. First finger shorter than second ;

 of the eye. 



Skin smooth. 



Slaty grey above, with lighter marblings; a semilunar white
