starts withAdult males measure 19–21 mm (0.7–0.8 in) and adult females, based on a single specimen, 25 mm (1.0 in) in snout–vent length. This frog has a slender overall appearance. The head is wider than the body. The snout is bluntly rounded in dorsal view and truncate in profile. The tympanum is small and barely visible; the supratympanic fold is weak but obscures the upper part of the tympanum. The fingers are short, bear moderately large, rounded discs, and are about half-webbed. The toes are moderately long, bear rounded discs slightly smaller than those on the fingers, and are about three-quarters webbed. The dorsum is yellowish tan, pale brown, or reddish brown, and has a variable pattern of grayish brown to brown blotches and golden flecks. The belly is white, and there is a white supra-anal stripe. The thighs are orange-tan to orange-yellow. Males have pale yellow vocal sac.
