 By G. A. Boulenger. 



Lepiodactylus prognathus. 



Tongue oval, nicked behind. Vomerine teeth In straight 

 series behind the clioana3. Snout depressed, acuminate, very 

 prominent, slightly longer tlian the diameter of the orbit ; no 

 canthus rostralis; nostril nearer the tip of the snout than the 

 eye ; interorbital space a little narrower than the upper eye- 

 lid ,• tympanum two thirds the diameter of the eye. Fingers 

 moderate, first much longer than second ; toes moderate, not 

 fringed ; subarticular tubercles well developed ; two small 

 metatarsal tubercles, inner oval, outer smaller and round. 

 When the hind limb is stretched forwards along the body, the 

 tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the anterior border of the 

 orbit. Back with a few irregular, smooth, flat warts, a 

 dorso-lateral glandular fold ; a ventral discoidal fold. Greyish 

 olive above, with blackish spots ; a blackish cross band be- 

 tween the eyes; a blackish band from the end of the snout to 

 the eye ; a whitisli band, between the latter and the blackish 

 margin of the upper lip, extends from below the nostril to the 

 arm ; tympanum chestnut-brown, with a linear white border ; 

 glandular lateral fold whitish ; limbs with blackish cross 

 bands ; lower surface white. Male with an external vocal 

 sac on each side of the throat. From snout to vent 33 

 millim. 



Very closely allied to L. ti/phonius, Daud., which differs, 

 however, in the numerous longitudinal dorsal folds. 



A single half-grown male specimen from Bio Grande do 

 Sul, through Dr. v. Ihering. 



The species recently named L. glandalosus by Cope is 

 identical with that previously described by Boettger as L. 

 diptyx. 



Eupemphix nana. 



Snout very feebly prominent ; interorbital space broader 

 than the upper eyelid ; tympanum scarcely visible. Fingers 

 moderate, first not extending beyond second ; toes moderate, 

 quite free, not fringed, tips obtuse ; two very smallj oval, 

 blunt metatarsal tubercles ; no tarsal tubercle, no tarsal fold. 

 "When the hind limb is stretched forwards along the body 

 the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tympanum or the 

 eye. Skin smooth ; no parotoids ; a flat, oval, lumbar gland, 

 as in PaludicoJa Bihronii. Greyish above, with symmetrical
