starts withMale Nyctimystes daymani grow to a snout–vent length of at least 42 mm (1.7 in). The snout is relatively long and narrow. The palpebral reticulum has very distinct, near-vertical veins. The tympanum is small but distinct and the supratympanic fold is strongly developed. The canthus rostralis is distinct. The outer fingers are about half-webbed, whereas the outermost toe is webbed to the base of the disc. The legs are comparatively short. Colouration is variable. Preserved specimens may be dorsally dark brown, with pale brown patches spotted with dark brown; some specimens are gray-brown and virtually patternless, while others are brown with white spots. Males have a vocal sac.
