Liroria WILcoxil. 
Snout of moderate length, somewhat pointed in front, the distance 
between the front angles of the orbits being equal to that between 
the eye and the extremity of the snout. Canthus rostralis angular ; 
nostril much nearer to the end of the snout than to the eye. Tym- 
panum very distinct, half the size of the eye. Skin perfectly smooth; 
a fold across the chest; belly granulated. Vomerine teeth in two 
oblique short series between the anterior part of the choane ; tongue 
entire behind. Openings of the Eustachian tubes much narrower 
than the choanze. Limbs rather slender: the third finger is longer 
than the fourth. The length of the body is a little less than the 
distance between vent and heel. Tarsus with a lateral fold of the 
skin; metatarsus with two small tubercles. Toes three-fourths 
webbed; the length of the fourth toe is a little less than one-half of 
that of the body. Disks rather small. 
Upper parts greyish olive, indistinctly marbled with darker ; a@ 
dark cross band between the eyes. A black band runs from the 
snout along the canthus rostralis, and is continued behind the eye, 
across the tympanum, to behind the axil. Sides of the belly and 
hinder side of the thigh yellow, marbled with black, 
lines.
