tubercles, except on toe IV, where it is to the medial tubercle, reaching tips of all toes as
a narrow sheath; toe tips slightly rounded; supernumerary tubercle at base of each digit
of manus; tarsus smooth, lacking folds; supratympanic fold extends from posterior edge
of eye to above insertion of forelimbs; lateral glandular flank ridge absent; abdomen
