starts withThis species can reach 68 mm (2.7 in) in snout–vent length. The body is broad and tapers to a relatively narrow head with pointed snout. The eyes are small. The tympanum is indistinct, but the supratympanic fold is well-developed. Low dorsolateral folds are present. Skin is dorsally pustulose and laterally more prominently so. The finger and toe tips bear distinct but only slightly enlarged discs. No webbing is present. The dorsum is brown, becoming noticeably darker on the top and sides of the head and tympanum. The sides of the head are flecked with white. The dorsolateral folds are darker brown than the surroundings, as are the low pustules of the back and sides. The groin is dark brown. The ventral surfaces are brown with faint lighter mottling and spotting. The throat is darker than the abdomen. Males have a single subgular vocal sac.
