First finger extending beyond second ; toes half webbed, with simple subarticular tubercles ; two moderate metatarsal tubercles ; no tarsal fold. The hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tarso-metatarsal articu- lation reaches between the eye and the tip of the snout. Upper surfaces covered with irregular warts ; parotoids moderate, elliptic, very prominent. Uniform brown above; beneath marbled with brown. Male with a subgular vocal sac.
