Taylor: Philippine Amphibia 
303 
The type was presented to the Senckenberg Museum by B. 
Schmacker, of Shanghai, in 1889, It is for him that the 
species was named. The species according to its author is 
characterized by the very long hind limbs and the very distinc- 
tive color and markings. The above description is taken from 
the type description, 
Philautus mindorensis (Boulenger). 
Ixalus mindorensis Boulenger, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. VI 19 (1897) 
107. 
Description of species. — (From Boulenger.) “Snout sub- 
acuminate, not projecting, as long as the diameter of the orbit; 
canthus rostralis distinct; loreal region concave; nostril slightly 
nearer the tip of the snout than the eye; interorbital space 
broader than the upper eyelid; tympanum distinct, one third 
to two fifths the diameter of the eye. Fingers free; toes one 
third webbed; disks as large as or a little smaller than the 
tympanum ; a small inner metatarsal tubercle. Tibio-tarsal 
articulation reaching the nostril or the tip of the snout. Skin 
smooth above; throat and belly granulate.” 
Color . — “Grey above, sides paler, sometimes with a dark 
brown lumbar streak; temples, and sometimes the lores, dark 
brown; a white streak along the upper lip, or an oblique white 
streak below the eye; limbs with more or less distinct dark 
cross-bands; lower parts white, uniform or spotted or marbled

Whitehead. I have seen no specimen of this species.
