The dorsum is slightly granular and (pale) orange in colouration, sometimes with brown specks; the belly is white. The iris is greyish blue. The tympanum is indistinct. The males have vocal sacks. The disk of the third finger has a papilla on its tip, hence the specific name scolodiscus, from Greek skolos (pointed) and diskus (disk).
