The head forms the third of that length (fig. 11); it is depressed, almost flat upon its upper surface, and rounded upon the snout (fig. 13). It is a little longer than broad, and, when viewed from above, has an ovoid appearance (fig. 11). The body, itself, is elongated, narrowest posteriorly, the general aspect being more ranine than bufonine. The legs are proportionally small, though quite as much developed as in many ranoids (figs. 11; 12). The entire absence of both palatine and maxillary teeth entitles it to a place amongst bufonoids (fig. 14). The inner nostrils are very large, oblong-shaped, in the longitudinal direction of the head (fig. 14). The openings of the Eustachian tubes are exceedingly minute. The tongue is of medium size, subcircular, or subelliptical, entire posteriorly, and free upon the half of its length (fig. 15). The eyes are of medium size, elliptical in form, their longitudinal diameter being equal to the distance between their anterior rim and the extremity of the snout (fig. 13). The inter-ocular space is broader than the eyelid (fig. 11). The nostrils are elevated, situated at the upper, terminal end of the snout, though equidistant between the eyes and the margin of the upper jaw. There are no parotid glands. The tympanum is entirely hidden under the skin (fig. 13).</paragraph>

The fingers are subcylindrical; the first one longer than the second, which is nearly equal to the fourth; the third being the longest. The articulations are all provided beneath with conspicuously developed tubercles, and the tip of the fingers slightly swollen beneath, into a tuberculous-like knob. Smaller tubercles may be seen on the palm of the hand, arranged in series in the direction of the fingers, each series composed of at least two tubercles. There is a comparatively large, horny, metacarpal disk, and a horny knob at the base of the first finger (fig. 12). The hind legs are slender but not very long; measured from their origin to the base of the fifth toe, they equal in length the head and body together. The toes exhibit the same structure as the fingers; there are but a few small granules on the sole of the feet, situated towards the base of the toes. The inner metatarsal tubercle is elongated; the outer one is rounded. The inner edge of the tarsus exhibits a very inconspicuous horny ridge (fig. 12).</paragraph>

starts from the margin of the upper jaw, ascends the snout towards the nostrils, thence along the line of the canthus rostralis to the eye, and passing over the latter, extends obliquely down to near the insertion of the anterior limbs. A transverse brown patch is observed upon the occiput, between the eyes. A larger patch of the same color is seen on the anterior portion of the trunk, and another still smaller, upon its posterior portion. These three patches are united together by means of diverging, narrow branches, giving the back a stellated appearance. Transverse narrow bars of brownish-black are observed upon the legs, more conspicuously on the posterior than on the anterior ones, where two such bars only are seen. The hands and feet above are maculated (fig. 16). Underneath, the color is dull-yellow, under the head and abdomen, with a few small black spots on the latter region. The legs being reddish, with indistinct yellowish dots.
