Remarks. — The types are from Zamboanga, Minadanao, and 
were collected by Semper. Only the two type specimens appear 
to have been found. I believe it has not been rediscovered.

Description of species. — (From Boulenger.) “Closely allied 
to B. pulcher Boulenger. Crown without bony ridges; snout 
short, obliquely truncate, with perpendicular lores; interorbital 
space broader than the upper eyelid ; tympanum very indistinct, 
fingers rather long, somewhat widening and truncate at the end, 
first much shorter than second ; toes rather short, webbed to the 
tips, which are slightly swollen; metatarsal tubercles, two, flat 
and very indistinct; the membrane bordering the inner toe ex- 
tends as a fine fold along the tarsus. The tibio-tarsal articula- 
tion reaches the anterior border of the orbit. Skin nearly 
smooth above, granular interiorly; no parotoids. Black above 
with lighter wavy lines or marblings, and with round white 
dots on the sides and limbs; throat and belly marbled with 
brown. Male with a subgular vocal sac.” 
“From snout to vent 30 millim.” 
Remarks. — The type, a male specimen from Mindanao, is in 
the British Museum of Natural History. No other specimen is 
known.
