==Description==<br />
''Duttaphrynus beddomii'' exhibits a crown that lacks bony ridges; its short, projecting snout has an angular ''canthus rostralis''. Its interorbital space is somewhat broader than the upper eyelid. Its [[Tympanum (zoology)|tympanum]] is very small, and sometimes indistinct. The species' first finger does not extend beyond the second; its toes are nearly entirely webbed, with single subarticular tubercles, two small metatarsal [[tubercle]]s, and no tarsal fold. The tarso-metatarsal articulation reaches to between the eye and the tip of the snout. Its upper parts are covered with rough tubercles; its parotoids ovate, about twice as long as broad, are rather indistinct. The toad is dark brown as seen from above, with indistinct black spots; its limbs are marbled with [[carmine]]; its lower surfaces are marbled with brown.<ref name=Boulenger>{{cite book| last = Boulenger| first = G.
