  This 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  liana 
  arvalis, 
  

   which 
  it 
  resembles 
  in 
  physiognomy 
  and 
  coloration, 
  

   but 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  

   soft 
  and 
  feebly 
  prominent 
  inner 
  metatarsal 
  tubercle. 
  

  

  Males 
  have 
  internal 
  vocal 
  sacs, 
  strong 
  fore 
  limbs, 
  

   and 
  a 
  large 
  undivided 
  pad 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  finger. 
  

  

  Nothing 
  is 
  known 
  of 
  the 
  habits 
  and 
  development.
