starts withAdult males measure 21–25 mm (0.8–1.0 in) and adult females 26–27 mm (1.0–1.1 in) in snoot–vent length. The snout is short and truncate. The tympanum is visible, with its upper edge barely covered by the weakly-developed supra-tympanic fold. The fingers are only slightly webbed and have broad discs. The toes are two-thirds webbed and have discs that are rounder and slightly smaller than those on the fingers. The coloration is tan, which is unusual among the related species—hence the specific name anomala, from Greek "unusual". There are small, black ocelli that enclose orange-tan spots.
