Phrynobatrachus liberiensis Barbour and Loveridge, 1927, Proc. New Engl. Zodl. Club, x, p. 14. 
Type, no. 11993, Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, female, from Gbanga, Liberia, collected 
by G. M. Allen, October, 1926. Eight examples (M.C.Z. nos. 11993-11999), and one now in the 
British Museum, all from Gbanga. 
Apparently related to P. steindachnert Nieden from Banjo, Cameroons. Differs from P. 
steindachneri in having an interorbital region narrower than the upper eyelid, absence of tarsal 
tubercle, less webbing on hind toes. 
Description. — Habit moderately stout. Tongue with a conical papilla in the middle. Head 
as long as broad. Snout obtusely pointed, slightly projecting beyond the mouth; canthus rostralis 
rounded, loreal region slightly concave; nostril noticeably nearer to the end of the snout than to 
the eye; interorbital space slightly broader than the upper eyelid; a fold from the posterior border 
of the eye borders the tympanum and extends to the base of the fore limb; tympanum distinct, 
two thirds the diameter of the eye. Fingers well developed, first and second equal, fourth slightly 
longer, third very much longer than any of the others, hardly a rudiment of web. Toes moderate, 
about two thirds webbed except fourth toe which is but half webbed, tips of fingers and toes dilated 
almost into small discs, subarticular tubercles well developed, prominent, a well developed inner 
metatarsal tubercle from which proceeds a fold or groove posteriorly, a scarcely discernible outer 
metatarsal tubercle but no tarsal tubercle. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the eye (anterior 
or posterior border in adults, end of snout in juveniles). Skin above, finely granular (warty in 
some specimens); below, perfectly smooth. . 
Coloration. — Above, uniformly brown (or grayish brown) on head and back (in young speci- 
mens a brown band from the region of the axilla unites with its fellow in the middle of the back); 
a conspicuous vertical white stripe on nose; edge of upper jaw whitish (or mottled with white); 
a triangular patch surrounds the anal region, and is bordered on the upper sides by two white lines; 
some trace of bars upon the limbs (young distinctly barred). Below, white with brownish, white- 
blotched lower lips; a certain amount of brown mottling or stippling on throat, breast, and limbs, 
but belly immaculate. 
Measurements. — Snout to vent, 33; length of head, 11; breadth of head, 11; diameter of 
orbit, 4; length of tibia, 19; length of foot, 25; length of fourth toe, 15 mm.
