The dorsal surface is a pale dull brown, with irregularly connected dark brown and red blotches. A vertebral row of crimson tubercles runs from snout to cloaca, with scattered red tubercles on the eye, hind limbs, and glands. Scattered white tubercles occur above the mouth on the side of the snout. The parotoid glands are suffused with metallic gold (Fig. 7). Ventral and femoral coloration is unknown. Males have a darkly pigmented chin.
