Skin on the dorsal surface smooth, with only one weakly developed dorsolateral ridge. Very weakly developed folds on the lateral sides.

Calls from Ambohitsara were very long series of notes (ca. 123 notes in one fully recorded call that lasted ca. 32.5 seconds; note repetition rate 3.8/s). Fundamental frequency was 1800–2200 Hz, dominant frequency between 3800–4200 Hz, and a weak frequency component was also recognizable at 5800–6000 Hz. Calls from Ankazorokana agree with this description.
