Vomerine teeth in two oblique groups on a level with or 

 just behind the posterior borders of the choanae. Head as long 

 as broad or a little broader than long ; snout rounded , feebly 

 prominent, shorter than the diameter of the orbit ; loreal region 

 nearly vertical, slightly concave ; can thus rostralis strong ; nos- 

 tril nearer the end of the snout tlian the eye ; interorbital space 

 as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum very distinct , three 

 fourths or four fifths the diameter of the eye. Fingers ending 

 in small but very distinct disks ; subarticular tubercles strong ; 

 first finger extending beyond second. Toes nearly entirely web- 

 bed , the web reaching the disks of the third and fifth ; disks 

 as much developed as those of the fingers ; subarticular tubercles 

 strong ; inner metatarsal tubercle oval, blunt, one third or one 

 fourth the length of the first toe ; a very prominent , round 

 outer metatarsal tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches 

 the nostril or the tip of the snout. Skin more or less distinctly 

 granulate on the head and back ; a broad but feebly prominent 

 glandular lateral fold. Brown above, uniform or with a few 

 small darker spots ; a blackish stripe on each side, from the tip 

 of the snout to the groin , passing through the eye , involving 

 the tympanum, and bordering the dorso -lateral fold; a white 

 streak from below the eye to the shoulder ; flanks spotted with 

 black ; limbs with dark cross-bars ; hinder side of thighs spotted 

 or marbled with black ; lower parts whitish, throat and breast 

 more or less obscured with brown mottlings. Male with inter- 

 nal vocal sacs and a humeral gland. 



From snout to vent, c/" 48, 9.51 millim. 

 The short snout, the longer inner finger, and the broader 

 dorso-lateral fold easily distinguish this species from R. allicola
