I
starts withThis species is known from the holotype, an adult female measuring 29 mm (1.1 in) in snout–vent length, and another specimen. The head is as wide as the body. The snout is moderately long and truncate. The tympanum is distinct but partly covered by the supra-tympanic fold. The forelimbs are moderately long and slender. The fingers bear large discs and are about one-fourth webbed. The hind limbs are moderately short and slender. The toes are about two-thirds webbed and bear discs that are slightly smaller than those on the fingers. The coloration is dorsally uniformly green, but the flanks and the thighs are brown with large yellow spots. There is a broad, bronze-tan canthal stripe. The throat and belly are pale yellow.
