A female specimen was collected at Moyobamba by Mr. A. 
H. Roff. 
This is the second species of Tailed Batrachians discovered 
south of the Equator. It resembles S. rufescens, Cope, from 
Central America, in most of its characters and in coloration ; 
but that species has the body less elongate, and the palatine 
teeth do not extend outwards beyond the choane. 
CrYPTOPSOPHIS, g. n. Cacilitdarum. 
Squamosals in contact with parietals. A single series of 
teeth in the lower jaw. ‘Tentacle globular, situated in front 
of the eye. Cycloid scales imbedded in the skin. 
Cryptopsophis multiplicatus, sp. n. 
Teeth rather small, subequal in each jaw, the mandibulars 
larger than the maxillaries, the palatines very small; number 
of teeth on one side—maxillary nineteen, mandibulars sixteen, 
palatines twenty. Snout rounded, prominent, as long as the 
distance between the eyes; latter very indistinct; tentacle 
below and in front of the eye, three times nearer the latter 
than the nostril. Body moderately elongate, rather depressed ; 
220 circular folds, the 22 anterior (primary) and the 25 pos- 
terior complete, the others alternately complete (primary folds) 
and interrupted on the ventral side (secondary folds). Tail 
indistinct, rounded, Olive-brown above, yellowish inferiorly. 
Total length 310 millim., greatest diameter of body 13 millim. 
A single specimen, from the Seychelles, is in the British 
Museum. 
This new genus agrees in every particular with Dermophis, 
except in the absence of a second row of mandibular teeth, a 
character which occurs in two other genera only, viz. Stpho- 
nops and Scolecomorphus. ‘This being the third new genus of 
Apoda discovered since the publication of the ‘ Catalogue of © 
Batrachia Caudata and Apoda,’ I add a synopsis of the genera 
known at present :—
