RANA LEPTODACTYLA

RANA LEPTODACTYLA

This is a species of rather small-sized frogs, with somewhat thin and attenuated limbs. The head is more or less strongly depressed, as long as broad or a little broader than long, with a rounded snout, slightly projecting beyond the mouth. The fingers are moderately long, with their tips dilated into rather large discs which are slightly broader than long, and bear a groove in front, separating the upper from the lower surface. The first finger is shorter than the second. The sub-articular tubercles on the fingers are moderately large. The hind limb is rather thin a long, with the tibiotarsal articulation reaching the tip of the snout or even beyond. The toes are rather long, depressed, dilated at the tips into large discs, and are only partially webbed. The sub-articular tubercles on the toes are rather small and inconspicuous. There is no tarsal fold and the inner metatarsal tubercle is elliptica
