Abundantly different from H. arhorea. The vomerine teeth are 

 more posterior, being situated on a level with, and extending some- 

 what beyond, the hinder edge of the choanse. The head is rather 

 smaller, and the loreal region more vertical. The hind limb is 

 shorter, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaching only the tympanum or 

 the posterior border of the eye. Blue-green above, immaculate ; a 

 brown streak from the tip of the snout through the eye and the 

 tympanum to the shoulder ; sides of body and thighs with deep 

 black spots on a white ground ; on the thighs the green is reduced 

 to a narrow baud ; tarsi, feet, and hands not coloured ; beneath 

 whitish, immaculate. Male with a large external subgidar vocal 

 sac ; during the breeding-season the inner side of the first digit 

 bears brown rugosities. From snout to vent 39 millim.
