Red Narrow-mouthed Frog

Its habit is stout. Its snout is rounded, a little shorter than the diameter of the orbit. The interorbital space is broader than the upper eyelid. Its fingers are moderate: the first is much shorter than second. Its toes are moderate, one-third webbed. The tips of fingers and toes are not swollen. The subarticular tubercles are distinct; two are large, oval, compressed, metatarsal tubercles. The outer is larger than the inner. The tibio-tarsal articulation reaches somewhat beyond the shoulder, but not to the eye. The skin is smooth, reddish brown above, with darker sides. A dark brown line runs from the tip of the snout through the eye along the side of the back to the groin. A dark brown mark crosses the thigh, beginning on the loin. The limbs have more or less distinct dark cross bars. A dark X-shaped marking appears on the anterior portion of the back, commencing between the eyes. Below is whitish, immaculate or with a few brown dots on the throat. The male has a subgular vocal sac, and the throat black. From snout to vent is 1.2 inches. Some adults have been observed dwelling in elephant dung.
