starts withThe holotype and the only known specimen of this species is (presumably) an adult male measuring 23.6 mm (0.93 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is more or less acuminate. The tympanum is visible but much less than the eye in diameter. The fingers and toes have no webbing but bear small discs. Skin is smooth or very weakly tuberculate. The dorsum is golden brown and with only vague gray patterning and a black to dark gray canthal line. The hind limbs are very pale pink. The concealed surfaces are vaguely marbled with medium gray. The venter is white.
