 length of head and 3.6 4 times in length and more or less 

 than 5 times in length with caudal. Eye 3.6 3.8 in length 

 of head and about twice the length of postorbital part; gela- 

 tinous membrane well developed, posteriorly covering the iris 

 totally or nearly so. Interorbital space convex, nearly twice
