 parts with irregular, depressed, distinctly porous warts ; parotoids 

 moderate, kidney-shaped ; a parotoid-like gland on the calf. Olive

Ladak. 



This new species, which I have the pleasure of naming after my 

 friend M. Fernand Lataste, is closely allied to both B. calamita and

 from B. raddii in the latter character and in the double subarticular 

 tubercles of the toes.
