Eyes fairly large (ED/SUL 0.126-0.143), eye-naris distance greater than internarial distance (END/IND 1.00-1.17). Almost all specimens with a yellowish (whitish in preservative) interocular stripe, an irregular longitudinal mark of the same colour in the scapular region and a narrow streak between corner of the mouth and tympanum. No brown hour-glass mark on dorsum and no light cross on head. Best diagnostic character is the advertisement call: a rattle of 0.7-1.0 s duration with a dominant frequency of 3.5 kHz.

Colour of holotype in life unknown. In preservative ground colour of dorsal surfaces of head, body, upper arm, forearm, thigh and shank light-grey, that of hands and feet yellowish. All dorsal surfaces more or less densely dotted with tiny dark brown dots: less so on hands, feet, between eyes, on tibiotarsal joint and on sacral region continued on to thighs; more so on all other dorsal surfaces. A scarcely visible pale interocular stripe and a pale, irregular stripe(s) in the scapular region; a similarly inconspicuous pale, irregular stripe along the upper flanks and a pale lumbar

The pale and irregularly shaped longitudinal line in the scapular region is also more strongly developed in most paratypes, and in some specimens it reaches the inguinal region. Ground colour of the dorsal surfaces in all specimens is off-white. Tiny, clearly demarcated brown dots are distributed on all dorsal surfaces. These dots form clusters of small circles on various body parts. In addition there are light or dark brown spots of different shape on various parts of the dorsal and lateral surfaces. Paler areas occur mostly on the snout, extremities, sacral region and upper flanks. Ground colour of ventral surfaces is also off-white and covered by many tiny brown dots. Their distribution ventrally is more homogenous than on dorsal surfaces, and larger spots are rare. Small and inconspicuous white spots occur on ventral surfaces of all specimens.</paragraph>
