is a small anuran species that differs from pipoids by having well-developed mentomeckelian bones and a T-shaped parasphenoid, and shares with neobatrachians features like the presence of a neopalatine, eightprocoelouspresacralvertebrae, roundedsacraldiapophyses, and the lack of free ribs. The new species can be distinguished from other fossil and living neobatrachians by the presence of the following combination of characteristics (autapomorphies marked with an asterisk): azygous frontoparietal bearing ornamentations in form of shallow grooves and two laterally projected and rounded supraorbital flanges*; tectal roofing of

and arranged obliquely in relation to the sagittal plane of the skull. There is no medial contact between them, and they are positioned at the same level in relation to the anterior tip of the maxilla, but both conditions could not reflect the exact morphology of the fossil, as they could be also related to shifts that occurred during the fossilization process. Due to their damaged condition at the lateral margins, the exact morphology of this portion is uncertain. Their dorsal surface is smooth, without ornamentations. The nasals also bear pointed maxillary processes that project laterally, and the posterior margins of such processes contribute to the anterior margin of the orbits. The posterior portion of the nasal maxillary process abuts the maxilla, near the region in which the maxilla and the palatine articulate. There is no evidence of the contact among nasals with premaxilla, squamosal, or frontoparietal.

The tooth row is straight, but as both vomers are shifted from their original positions, it is difficult to determine if the vomerine tooth rows were arranged angled or perpendicular to the skull midline.

, and there is only a faint suture line between the ilium, ischium, and pubis, and so they are fused. In acetabular view, the ilial shaft is moderately elongated (~3.5 times longer than the ilial body) and slightly arched dorsally. The ilial shaft bears a moderately high dorsal crest (~

relation to the total high of the ilial shaft) extending almost throughout its entire length, except for the distal end. In medial view, there is a relatively deep and elongated sulcus between the dorsal portion of the shaft and the ventral portion of the dorsal crest. The cross-section of the ilial shaft is oval in anterior view, but the dorsal crest forms a thin projection dorsomedially oriented. In the ilial body, the dorsal prominence is present but low, being rounded and confluent with the dorsal crest of the ilial shaft, and also bears a laterally projected and elongated dorsal protuberance. The dorsal acetabular expansion is moderately developed (

A well-pronounced acetabular rim surrounds almost entirely the margins of the fossa, except for its dorsalmost portion. The preacetabular zone is well-developed and leads to moderately wide ventral acetabular expansion (

In ventral view, the surface of the ilial body is smooth, and there is no sign of a spiral groove. The ischium bears a well-developed posterodorsal region, which has a quadrangular outline, whereas its portion located posterior to the acetabular fossa is short and has a relatively straight margin. The portion of the pubis located below the acetabular fossa is short, except for the region next to the ventral acetabular expansion, which is elongated and forms a rounded projection oriented anteroventrally.

The only terminal phalanx present was tentatively associated with the toe II. This phalanx is roughly straight and its distal end is slightly knobbed. There is no evidence of the presence of intercalary elements.
