 skinny appendages instead of with tubercles, and the snout 

 terminates in a triangular flap. A pair of prominent glandular 

 ridges on the back, running from the long supraciliary horns 

 to the vent ; a similar transverse ridge between the two horns. 

 Snout more depressed than in the other species, and crown 

 of the head but slightly concave. Tympanum not visible. 

 Vomerine teeth on two short prominences between the choanse. 

 Tongue not covering the bottom of the buccal cavity. The 

 two outer carpal tubercles very small, much smaller than the 

 inner ; metatarsal tubercle long, nearly as long as its distance 

 from the inner toe. Third toe rather longer than fifth. Web 

 between the toes very short.
