Variation. — This specimen was collected in Palawan by Victor 
E. Lednicky. It differs but little from several younger specimens 
collected by myself in Palawan, now a part of the Bureau of 
Science collection. A young specimen, which still has a bud 
of a tail, measures only 13 millimeters in length from snout to 
vent; the hind legs measure 15 millimeters. It is dark above, 
throat and chest entirely black, hind legs whitish; tubercles on 
posterior part of back arranged in a broad V-shaped series, 
only dimly noticeable in the type. The vomerine teeth are visible 
in all save the very young specimens. 
Remarks. — This species, like Megalophrys stejnegeri, differs 
from M. montana in that it has vocal sacs. From M. stejnegeri 
it differs in that it has vomerine teeth, unconcealed choanse, a 
longer and more-pointed snout, smaller eyes, a larger and more- 
distinct tympanum, a flatter head, and a shorter spine above 
eye. It also differs in color and markings. 
The species is rather common in mountain streams. 
I strongly suspect that specimens from Palawan, collected by 
Everett and reported by Boulenger,^^ belong to this species. 
I did not find the tadpoles of this species. 
The species is named for Macario Ligaya, the Filipino artist 
whose careful drawing has contributed much to the value of 
this paper.

“ It is possible, but not certain, that these references should be relegated 
to the synonymy of Megalophrys stejnegeri sp. nov. and M. ligayse sp. nov. 
which differ from M. montana in the presence of a vocal sac.
