 shorter, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaching only the tympanum or 

 the posterior border of the eye. Blue-green above, immaculate ; a 

 brown streak from the tip of the snout through the eye and the 

 tympanum to the shoulder ; sides of body and thighs with deep 

 black spots on a white ground ; on the thighs the green is reduced 

 to a narrow band ; tarsi, feet, and hands not coloured ; beneath 

 whitish, immaculate. Male with a large external subgular vocal 

 sac ; during the breeding-season the inner side of the first digit 

 bears brown rugosities. From snout to vent 39 mUlim.
