MADARÁSZ. minate, with prominent upper hp, longer than the greatest orbital diameter, once and a half as long as the diameter of the eye; canthus rostralis none ; loreal region oblique ; nostril a little nearer to the eye than the diameter of the latter, distinctly nearer to the tip of the snout than to the eye. Interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid: tympanum very distinct, not quite two thirds the diameter of the eye. Fingers moderate, free, first much longer than second, the latter scarcely longer than the fourth ; a smaller oval inner and a much larger roundish outer metacarpal tubercle: subarticular tubercles strong, subconical; along the metacarpals some minute tubercles, viz. two on the first, second and third, but only one on the fourth metacarpal. Toes moderate, with a trace of fringe on each side ; subarticular tubercles as on the hand : two metatarsal tubercles, the inner oval, slightly copressed. the outer smaller and round ; along the metatarsals very distinct series of small tu bercles * ipl. XIII, fig. 19). Tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the centre ( J) or the anterior corner (c?)' of the eve.** Skin minutely granulated between the ilia, stronger on the flanks to the discoidal fold and on the lower surface of the thighs. From snout to vent runs a fine, elavated middle line; from the posterior corner ot the eye two glandular folds arise, diverging on their commencement, afterwards running parallel and extending to groin, the outer of which is several times interrupted and sends down a branch to the arm behind the tympanum : between this lateral folds runs a row of more or less prominent longitudinal warts; a distinct tarsal fold ipl. XIII, fig. 19) and a strong ventral discoidal fold. Male without external vocal sacs; thumb without spinebearing tubercles. Coloration. Female greyish olive above, along the elevated middle line of the head and back with minute black, behind white edged points and a few rather indistinct dark spots, more distinct between the ilia. Each lateral fold covered with longitudinal black spots, more or less confluent into a black stripe, which is margined with a fine white line above : the longitudinal warts between the inner and outer lateral fold black, with white margins above or with dirty-white centres. Between the eyes a saddle-shaped dark spot, in front and laterally edged with a black line and the latter margined with dirty-white. A blackish-brown * COPE asserted: «Sole smooth», but Count PERACCA, who had opportunity to compare his specimen in the British Museum, states as follows: «pianta dei piedi non liscia (COPEI ma présentante una serie di tubercoletti conici smussati disposti su ciascuno dei quattro metatarsi.» ** After COPE «The heel extended reaches the nostril», and this is in fact the case on SPIX'S type.
