Tanzanian and Zimbabwean material form a single regression line. Description of type material. Showing the features of the genus, as discussed above. Two phalanges of third toe free of main webbing, although edge of web very serrated, making determination imprecise. Outer metatarsal tubercle rounded, or less length of inner. Adult dorsal skin (known only from females) densely cov- ered with light-tipped spines which sur- mount small, warty bases; larger warts over lateral and urostylar areas and on dorsal surfaces of legs have rosettes of spines, oth- erwise the spines are single. Dense cov- ering of minute conical asperities conspic- uous on the lip of the vent, even in immature specimens of both sexes. Markings (in alcohol): top of head, pa- rotid glands and central region of back a light brown; darker brown laterally. A dark middorsal V -shaped marking in the scap- ular region, apex pointing anteriorly, arms usually continuing posteriorly to mark the.
