Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Michael Cunningham
Comment:   Large, bulbous, smooth and pitted parotids. Interupted post ocular chevron and paired dark head markings. Notice that the white glandular tubercles on the hind edge of the fore-arm form a confluent ridge (unlike A. gutturalis). Another possibility here is A. xerox but that tends to be in semi-arid areas and to have less distinct pattern.
