Remarks. — This species differs from Kalophrynus pleurostigma 
Tschudi in having the subcircular tongue, the snout more pro- 
tracted, the hind legs shorter, and the inguinal spots lacking. 
It also differs from K. stellatus in having the subcircular tongue, 
the snout pointed, the hind legs shorter, and no sacral spots. 
The species is known from a single specimen. It is from either 
Samar or Culion (“entweder von Culion oder von Samar”) ; 
the exact locality is no longer known. 
Chaperina Mocquaed, Mem. Soc. Zool. France 5 (1892) 194; Le Nat- 
ural 14 (1892) 35. 
Tongue elliptical, not forked behind, free ; no vomerine teeth ; 
rather indistinct body ridge across the palate behind choanse 
sometimes present ; on posterior part of palate in front of oesoph- 
agus one or two dermal folds, choanse rather large, hidden 
under edges of maxilla; tympanum present or wanting; fingers 
and toes entirely free, dilated into small disks ; no paratoid gland ; 
inner metatarsal tubercle present ; terminal phalanges T-shaped ; 
outer metatarsals united. Pupil horizontal ; precoracoids present, 
very slender; sternum cartilaginous; no omosternum. Trans- 
verse process of sacrum rather strongly dilated. 
Remarks. — This genus was established for Chaperina fusca 
Mocquard from Sintang, Borneo. Mocquard states that it is 
most closely related to Sphenophryne Peters and Doria. Two 
species are known from the Philippines, both new. Chaperina 
beyeri is closely related to C. fusca but appears to differ in 
certain organic characters, such as the presence of a distinct 
dermal soft spine on the heel and the absence of tympanum.
