Morphological variation is given in Appendix 2. The background colouration of dorsal surfaces is always brown, but the pattern varies from mostly uniform to a pattern consisting of small, scattered grey (in preservative) lichenous blotches (ZSM 933/2003, male) or irregular blackish blotches (ZSM 586/ 2001). Specimens ZSM 897/2003, ZSM 2156/2007 (FGZC 1219), juveniles, and ZSM 2157/2007 (FGZC 1220), female, have a pinkish grey (in preservative) triangle between eyes and snout and two dorsolateral bands of the same colour connected on the sacral region; they also have an oblique, white subocular bar. The supratympanic fold is bordered inferiorly by a dark brown stripe in some specimens. No remarkable variation exists in ventral pattern. Calling specimens were not observed in detail during call emission but as far as recognizable upon capture had a single subgular vocal sac.

). Notes are separated by very short intervals only. Overall amplitude as well as note repetition rate is increasing towards the end of the call. Each note shows some amplitude modulation, with a distinct energy peak at its end. The call ends with two &quot;noisy&quot; pulsatile notes which may also be emitted separately. Numerical call parameters are as follows: call duration, 4015 ms (n = 1); 45 notes/ call; note duration, 5078 ms (62 ± 9; n = 26); inter-note interval, 2030 ms (24 ± 2; n = 26); note repetition rate, 10.713.0 notes/second. Dominant frequency range 24003100 Hz, maximum call energy at 26102720 Hz. Pulsatile notes may be of slightly longer duration, 6894 ms (n = 5), and their call energy is distributed in a slightly wider frequency band (15003400 Hz). These pulsatile notes are emitted at irregular intervals (
