Identification.
Our specimens were identified as
B. adspersa
based on size of the males and females (snout– vent length
47 mm
and
54 mm
, respectively), about three times the distance from tip of snout to gular fold; limbs short, not meeting when adpressed; fingers and toes very short and broad, truncate, and webbed, with the tips free; carpal or tarsal tubercules absent; and tail cylindrical, shorter than total length of the body.
Remarks.
This species was restricted to the large forest fragment (
Fig. 2A
) and occurred in several microhabitats, but especially on leaves. One or two individuals were sighted per leaf (
Fig. 6
).
