Polypedates formosus, CHinth. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1875, p. 673, pi. 65.

 from, Bana afghana. The principal difference resides in the greater 

 length of the fing^ers, that of the third equalling the distance 

 between the tympanum and the tip of the snout. Greenish or 

 greyish above, with rounded dark spots ; legs distinctly cross-barred.
