Habitat of Cophixalus monosyliabus sp. n. in the Fakfak Mountains on the Bomberai Peninsula, 700 m brown or grey colour as on the dorsum. Conspicuous are a blackish spot behind the eye, another blackish spot above the foreleg insertion, and some blackish spots at the bor- der between the dorsum and flanks. It is notable that the dorsum in all preserved specimens is clearly lighter than the upper flanks, whereas the dorsum and upper flanks in most living specimens differed in colour only slightly. Lo

Habitat of Cophixalus monosyliabus sp. n. in the Fakfak Mountains on the Bomberai Peninsula, 700 m brown or grey colour as on the dorsum. Conspicuous are a blackish spot behind the eye, another blackish spot above the foreleg insertion, and some blackish spots at the bor- der between the dorsum and flanks. It is notable that the dorsum in all preserved specimens is clearly lighter than the upper flanks, whereas the dorsum and upper flanks in most living specimens differed in colour only slightly. Lo- real region in all specimens entirely or predominantly black. In some specimens this black area continues to be- low the eye and extends up to the upper arm, in others this black area ends below the eye. The inner margin of the "upper eyelid" is whitish in most specimens, this colour merging in a broad and light postocular band. While there are no or only a few tubercles in the preserved specimens, most living specimens exhibited tubercles on the flanks and extremities (rarely on the dorsum). Many of these tubercles have a blackish base and a orange-red cap. Most, and the largest, tubercles are arranged in dor- solateral rows. The yellowish spot posterior of the chevron sign in ZMB 74999 (Fig. 5), which faded to a white spot in preservative, is obviously an exception. Or- ange-red areas were also found on the forelegs of some specimens. The fine whitish middorsal line in the living specimen in Fig. 5 disappeared completely in fixative. Dorsal sides of legs similarly coloured as other dorsal and dorsolateral body parts. Ventral sides of forearms creme- coloured, its anterior and posterior part covered with ir- regular dark spots. Throat and chest in all specimens dark- er than on the remaining ventral surfaces. These dark ven- tral areas are solidly or discontinuously black or dark brown. Abdomen and ventral sides of hind legs show greater light areas covered by a mo
