ed. _Description of holotype._--Adult male having a snout-vent length of 44.3 mm.; tibia length 21.1 mm., 47.6 per cent of snout-vent length; foot length (measured from proximal edge of inner metatarsal tubercle to tip of longest toe) 20.4 mm., 47.2 per cent of snout-vent length; head length 13.4 mm., 30.2 per cent of snout-vent length; head width 13.7 mm., 30.9 per cent of snout-vent length. Snout in lateral profile truncate, in dorsal profile truncate with weak vertical rostral keel; canthus angular; loreal region slightly concave; lips thick, not flaring; snout short; nostrils barely protuberant, directed dorsolaterally, situated about four-fifths distance from anterior corner of eye to tip of snout; internarial distance 3.6 mm.; internarial area not depressed; top of head slightly convex; interorbital distance 4.9 mm., 35.8 per cent of width of head; width of eyelid 3.5 mm., 26.0 per cent of width of head. Diameter of eye 4.7 mm.; heavy dermal fold curving posteroventrally from posterior corner of eye, covering upper one-third of tympanum, to insertion of arm; tympanum barely distinct, its diameter 2.2 mm., 46.8 per cent that of eye, separated from eye by distance equal to half again diameter of tympanum. Axillary membrane absent; thoracic fold weak; arms moderately robust; fold on wrist heavy; fingers long, slender; length of fingers from shortest to longest, 1-2-4-3; discs large, that on third finger as large as tympanum; subarticular tubercles moderately small, round, none bifid; supernumerary tubercles small, some barely distinguishable, in single row on proximal segment of each digit; prepollex greatly enlarged, flat ventrally, bearing nuptial excrescence composed of minute horny spinules; webbing between first two fingers vestigial; web connecting other fingers at bases of penultimate phalanges of second and fourth, and base of antepenultimate phalanx of third fingers. Heels overlap by about one-third length of shank when hind limbs adpressed; tibiotarsal articulation extends to posterior edge of orbit; transverse dermal fold on heel; tarsal fold thin, distinct, extending length of tarsus; inner metatarsal tubercle large, elongate, flat, visible from above; outer metatarsal tubercle absent; toes moderately long, slender; length of toes from shortest to longest, 1-2-3-5-4; discs slightly smaller than those on fingers; subarticular tubercles moderately small, round; supernumerary tubercles small, in single ro
