Fig. 5. — R. leptoglossa. 
Head of specimen from Pegu ( x 1^). 
The habit of the frog is shght and the hind legs long; the tibio-tarsal articula- 
tion reaching the snout or beyond ; the fingers and toes bear small discs, which are 
of oval shape ; the first finger extends shghtly 
beyond the second; the toes are half webbed, 
and there are two well-developed metatarsal 
tubercles on the hind foot. The anterior part 
of the back is smooth, but there are scattered 
tubercles on the posterior part and sides ; ventral 
surface is smooth ; there is a well-developed glan- 
dular lateral fold, a distinct glandule near the gape 
and another over the shoulder. A rather feeble fold extends obliquely downwards 
behind the tympanum from the lateral fold to the shoulder glandule. The tympa- 
num is disthict and nearly as large as the eye. The sides of the tongue are nearly 
parallel. 
The colouration is distinctive ; the back (in specimens long preserved in spirit) 
is of a pale livid grey; the sides are rather darker, the hind limbs bear indefinite 
cross-bars ; the sides of the head are dark brown ; a rather broad grey band extends 
backwards from the tip of the snout to behind the tympanum, while another extends 
upwards between the eye and the tympanum; the lips are edged with brown, but 
there are sometimes pale spots on the lower lip ; there is an oblique black band on 
the basal part of the humerus in front and another behind the axilla; sometimes 
black spots are present on the sides. 
The species, which was described from near Rangoon, is closely related to 
R. granulosa, Anderson, from which it may be distinguished by its longer hind limbs, 
by its colouration and by the smoothness of the skin on the head and anterior part 
of the body.

Sclater was certainly mistaken in regarding this species as synonymous with 
R. erythraea, from which it is distinguished not only by the presence of an inner meta- 
tarsal tubercle on the feet, but also by the less extensive webbing and by colouration. 
In the young frog the sides and back are brownish and sometimes spotted, but in 
the adult they are bright green, without spots ; in spirit the green changes to dark 
brown or blackish grey, the glandular fold, which extends from the eyes to the base 
of the hind limbs, is silvery white, and the lower limits of the green region of the sides 
are diffused by a white line running parallel to it and terminating in front in a
