The relatively large, protuberant acetabulum and weak enlargement of the iliac sym- physis region also resemble the relatively better developed, similar features of the Recent Philippine genus Barbourula (Estes, 1964; Hecht and Hoffstetter, 1962). The humeri also show general similarity to Bombina in shape of ball, epicondyles, oblique ole- cranon scar, and dimorphism of crest development. The texture of the sculptured skull elements is distinctive, but dermal sculpture is also known in fossil discoglossids fro

The texture of the sculptured skull elements is distinctive, but dermal sculpture is also known in fossil discoglossids from the mid-Cenozoic of Europe (Latonia, Zaphrissa; Friant, 1960). The ilium was chosen as the type specimen because it is more often recovered than the relatively more delicate skull 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 Harvard University.
