Remarks . — The type, which appears to be the only specimen 
recorded from the Philippines, is a full-grown male specimen 
collected at Loquilocum, Samar, by F. Jagor. 
Flower has reported a frog which appears to be a specimen 
of this species, from Malay Peninsula, but expresses a doubt 
as to whether it is correctly classified.

Description of species . — (From Boulenger.) “Vomerine teeth 
in two oblique groups between the moderately large choanse. 
Head slightly broader than long, without dermal ossification. 
Snout rounded, shorter than the diameter of the orbit; canthus 
rostralis obtuse, curved; loreal region concave, very oblique; 
nostrils near the end of the snout; interorbital space as broad 
as the upper eyelid; tympanum distinct, two fifths the diameter 
of the eye. Fingers with a slight rudiment of web; disks mod- 
erate, nearly as large as the tympanum; toes three-fourths 
webbed; inner metatarsal tubercle very small; no tarsal fold. 
Tibio-tarsal articulation reaching a little beyond the tip of the 
snout. Skin finely granulate above, coarsely beneath; small 
conical tubercles below the vent, at the heel, and along the outer 
edge of the forearm and tarsus. Pale yellowish or reddish brown 
above, with dark brown markings; the most conspicuous of 
these are a cross band between the eyes and a symmetrical 
marking on the prsesacral part of the back, roughly representing 
a frog with the four limbs stretched out; limbs with dark cross 
bands; lower parts uniform white.
