Diagnosis: This species is diagnosed by the following characters: lateral prong of postfrontal distinctly ventrally curved; parietal crest present; lateral lip of quadrate ex- tended in a flange; fewer than 30 scleral ossicles; two to four inscriptional ribs; juvenile color pattern as adult; aural opening free of skin folds; first infralabials may contact behind mental; folds of loose skin on posterior face of hindhmb present; preanal organs extend onto thighs; pygal region tapers into post-pygal region. (6, 10, 12, 15, 32B, 62, 70, 80, 90, 93, 102). Comments: The large knobs on the skull of this species make it difficult to confuse with any other. It is unclear how Bocage (1873) could have failed to recognized his Ceratolophus hexaceros from Bavay's (1869) superb description of Platydactylus auriculatus. This is the most well known of the members of the genus and over 100 specimens exist in museum Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bonn, Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig
