because of its slender and nearly straight epibranchial bones, maxillary bones oriented angular to the body axis, and laterally compressed tail. This species can be diagnosed from other congeners by the following combination of characters: skin relatively smooth; granular warts absent on head and body; vertebral ridge not prominent; head depressed and nearly flat in profile; habitus slender and depressed; limbs short—when adpressed against flank, fingers and toes hardly meet; dorsum olive brown with irregular black flecks; ventral orange-red blotches irregular in shape.

: A slender and flat newt, preserved with mouth open. Head oval in shape, depressed and nearly flat in profile. Snout truncate and slightly projecting beyond lower mandible. Nostrils close to snout tip. Labial fold evident throughout posterior half of upper jaw. Skull relatively narrow, with maxillary bones oriented angular to body axis. Maxillary tips lie anterior and lateral to pterygoid bones; no contact between maxillary and pterygoid. Fronto-squamosal arch complete but not very robust. Epibranchial bones slender, nearly straight, only slightly flared dorsally. Vomerine tooth patch Λ-shaped, tooth rows converging anteriorly and exceeding the anterior limit of choanae. Tongue adhering to mouth floor with free lateral margins. Parotoid region evident, but not enlarged. Gill filaments absent. Gular fold present. Skin relatively smooth on head and body, with small transverse wrinkles. Vertebral ridge thin, slightly elevated. Lateral dorsal ridge absent. Thirteen trunk vertebrae. Four fingers, five toes, without webbing. Tail laterally compressed; posterior dorsal caudal fin evident, ventral caudal fin indistinct; tail extremity round in profile. Cloaca swollen, with a few papillae near posterior limit.
