. Colouration of preserved tadpole dark to light brown with a slightly yellowish transparent shade. Head and body slightly separated by a constriction of body wall at plane of spiracle. Behind this separation, at the end of body, dark brown colouration in dorsal and lateral view. Next to each nostril, a dark brown coloured short line visible through transparent skin, not visible in ventral view. In dorsal and lateral view, large irregular brown spots, particularly concentrated on posterior fourth of tail. Belly and first two-thirds of ventral caudal fin lacking these darker spots. In dorsal view body shape elongated-elliptical. In lateral view, body depressed, BW 1.32 of BH. Body shape in lateral view without a distinct flattening toward snout. Nostrils rimmed with a mediodorsal projection giving them an arrow shape, not protuberant, positioned dorsolaterally,

0.63 of IOD. Nostrils closer to tip of snout than to eyes. Eyes positioned dorsally, directed dorsolaterally, ED 0.12 of BL, not protuberant. Spiracle sinistral, attached to body wall but its inner wall lifting up from body wall to tip. Spiracular opening oval, oriented posteriorly, slightly visible in dorsal view, upper margin situated under level of lower margin of eye, slightly closer to snout than to end of body, ESD 0.21 of BL. Intestinal spiral slightly visible in lateral view and well visible in ventral view, not visible in dorsal view. Medial vent tube with lateral displacement, dextral. Caudal musculature well developed, TMH 0.87 of BH and 0.71 of MTH. Dorsal fin originating at body-tail junction, vastly increasing in height at proximal quarter of tail, MTH 1.23 of BH, equal height throughout two-thirds of tail, slightly diminishing to finely rounded tip. Dorsal and ventral fin convex in outline, nearly equally sized. Oral disc small, generalized, laterally emarginated, ODW 0.33 of BL and 0.69 of BW, anteroventrally positioned, transversely rounded. Oral disc margins not visible in dorsal view, but visible in lateral view. Total number of papillae 91. LTRF 5(25)/3(1), about 30 teeth per mm in A2. Large medial gap in second anterior tooth row. Only the first posterior row with small medial gap.
