the side of the body; on the tympanum this band expands into 
a large temporal blotch ; limbs with ill-defined dark cross bands ; 
hinder side of thighs brown, dotted with white; lower parts 
whitish speckled with brown. 
“From snout to vent 78 millim.” 
Remarks. — This species was described from a female specimen 
from Baram, Borneo. It belongs to the group of Polypedates 
moxidatus. “It differs from all the species of that group in the 
larger tympanum, from R. maculatus and R. cruciger in the ab- 
sence of a parieto-squamosal arch, and in the larger choanse, 
from R. leucomystax in the narrower interorbital space and th^ 
larger choanae, and from R. Colletti in the shorter hind limbs.”

From the Philippines this species is known only from Palawan, 
where it was obtained by A. Everett.
