ermal fold extending from posterior corner of eye, over upper edge of tympanum to point above insertion of arm; tympanum distinct, its diameter 3.4 mm., 54.8 per cent of that of the eye, separated from eye by distance equal to diameter of tympanum. Axillary membrane absent; arms moderately robust, lacking dermal fold on lateral edge of forearm, having transverse fold on wrist; fingers moderately short, broad; length of fingers from shortest to longest, 1-2-4-3; discs large, that on third finger one-fourth larger than tympanum; subarticular tubercles large, round, none bifid; supernumerary tubercles large, granule-like, present only on proximal segments; prepollex enlarged, not bearing nuptial excrescence. Fingers about one-half webbed; webbing connects first and second fingers at level of distal end of antepenultimate phalanx, extending from middle of penultimate phalanx of second finger to middle of antepenultimate phalanx of third, and between bases of penultimate phalanges of third and fourth fingers. Heels overlap by about one-half length of shank when hind limbs adpressed; tibiotarsal articulation extends to point between eye and nostril; thin transverse dermal fold on heel; tarsal fold strong, extending full length of tarsus; inner metatarsal tubercle small, flat, elongate, barely visible from above; outer metatarsal tubercle small, conical; toes moderately long, stout; length of toes from shortest to longest, 1-2-3-5-4; discs slightly smaller than those on fingers; subarticular tubercles large, round, subconical; supernumerary tubercles large, conical, in single row on proximal segment of each digit; toes about four-fifths webbed; webbing extending from base of disc on first to base of disc on second to base of penultimate phalanx of third toe, from base of disc on third to base of penultimate phalanx of fourth to base of disc of fifth toe. Anal opening directed posteroventrally at mid-level of thighs; anal sheath long, tubular. Skin smooth on dorsum and on ventral surfaces of shanks, granular on throat, belly, and ventral surfaces of arms and thighs. Tongue ovoid, widest posteriorly, neither notched nor free behind. Prevomerine teeth 6-7, situated on robust transverse ridges between small, ovoid choanae. Vocal slits absent. Testes large, ovoid, granular; length of left testis 11.0 mm. Color (in preservative): brown above with many darker brown spots and narrow middorsal stripe on back; six or seven dark br
