). The limbs and digits are slender; the head is wider than the body; the snout projects over the lower jaw; and the tympanum is visible. No longitudinal bony ridges are present in the interorbital space of the head. The dorsal surface of the limbs and body is tuberculate, covered with small, rounded tubercles that lack a keratinized tip; the tubercles are not arranged in rows; no enlarged tubercles along the dorsolateral fold, temporal or scapular regions or at angles of the jaw. The ventral surfaces of the belly and throat are coarsely granular; the granules are more widely spaced on the ventral surface of the limbs. The fingers are long, slender, unwebbed; have narrowly rounded tips not wider than other phalanges, and not forming discs. The first finger is shorter than second; the tip of the first finger does not reach the base of tip of second when adpressed. Toes slender with rounded tips; do not form discs; the third, fourth and fifth toes have 1.5 phalanges free of webbing. Tarsal ridges are absent.

The body starts to taper slightly behind the eyes; before narrowing abruptly posteriorly towards the tail. The eyes are located on top of the head; the nares are closer to the eyes than to the tip of the snout (

The anterior rows are longer than the posterior rows and separated from the jaw sheaths.

The tail musculature gradually tapers posteriorly to the pointed tail tip. The ground coloration on the dorsal surface is grey; darker blotching is present behind the eyes and before the tail. The belly is light cream colored.
