Habit slender. Tongue subelliptic, slightly nicked and 

 free behind. Vomerine teeth in two obliquely transverse series 

 between the choanal. Head longer than broad ; snout longer 

 than the diameter of the eye, rather acuminate; canthus ros- 

 tralis angular, loreal region concave ; interorbital space broader 

 than the upper eyelid. Tympanum distinct, but small, about 

 half the diameter of the eye. Fingers nearly free, a short web 

 at the base of the outer fingers. Second finger longer than the 

 first, which has a brown wart on its inner side in the male; 

 disks of fingers somewhat smaller than the tympanum. Toes 

 broadly webbed, the web reaching the disks of the fifth and 

 third toes ; disks of the toes smaller than those of the fingers ; 

 subarticular tubercles well developed. A large inner meta- 

 tarsal tubercle connected by a sliort web with the hallux, thus 

 producing the im])ression of a rudimentary toe; another small 

 metatarsal tubercle at the base of the third toe. The hind limb 

 being carried forward along the body, the tibio-tarsal articu- 

 lation reaches between the eye and the snout. A cutaneous 

 fold along the side from above the tympanum, another fold 

 across the throat. Skin n)inutely granular above, coarsely 

 granular on the belly and under the thighs ; scatteied granules 

 on the throat and a row of similar granules along the tbrearm. 

 Greyish brown (in spirit), with some irregular darker brown 

 markings ; there is, however, no anal blotch as described in 

 H. impura.
