«Tongue with a free, pointed papilla in the anterior part of the median line.
Snout subacuminate, as long as the diameter of the orbit; canthus rostralis angular; loreal region flat, vertical; nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip of the snout; interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid; tympanum small, hidden.
Toes very broadly webbed, the web reaching the disks, which are very large; subarticular tubercles small; a small inner metatarsal tubercle.
The hind limb being stretched forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tip of the snout or somewhat beyond.
Skin smooth above and beneath: a fold from the eye to the shoulder.
Olive-brown above, with more or less distinct darker reticulations; limbs with dark cross bands; throat and breast often marbled with brown.
Male with internal vocal sacs, the openings of which are very small.»

From snout to vent 1-2 inches.
