This subspecies d liters from the A*, v.sjihenocephnla in the relatively 

 sliorter head, being exactly intermediate lictween that form and the 7i'. 

 r. hruchiiccphala in tiiis respect. The hind leg.s are als(»a little shorter, 

 the heel reaching exactly the end of the inii/zle. The muzzle is also 

 rather shorter, and the dimensions generally are rather smaller. Tiie 

 webis rather larger, asthe antepenultimate phalange i.s widely margined, 

 so that two phalanges only can be said to be entirely free. The spots 

 are rather smaller, and separated by wider intervals. 



In the coloration may be noted as characteristic the presence of a 

 longitudinal brown band on the front of tlie thigh, in front of thespots. 

 This is rarely absent. Less constant is the presence <»f a brown longi- 

 tudinal stripe on the external edge of the tibia. Then there is always 

 present a longitudinal brown band on the front of the humerus, coni- 

 niencing proximally and varying in length. 



Dr. IJolbrook describes the colors in lif«! as follows; 



Body green above, with ovate sjjots of dark brown margined witU 

 yellow; yellowish white beneath.
