Dorsal ground color of preserved specimen gray or brownish gray; dark brown marking 

 running from tip of snout through eye and ear opening to shoulder; each side of dorsum with 

 two transverse rows of djirk spots, one just aside of middorsal region and the other on flank;

Ecological data - AH adult females collected from LongHng from the middle to late August 

 had already oviposited and possessed only ovarian follicles, 1.7-1.8 mm in diameter. The 

 testes of adult males measured about 3.5X7 mm. Of the adult females collected from 

 Changyuan in May, however, about half possessed eggs, 6X8 - 6X8.5 mm in size, at the 

 upper end of oviducts, whereas the remainder had already oviposited, and possessed only
