Plantar surface densely covered with distinct squamae distal to thenar pad (smooth heel); hypothenar pad large, interdigital pads small and fleshy (pads 1 and 4 displaced proximally relative to 2 and 3). Claw of dI extends to first half of first phalange of dII; claw of dV extends to first interphalangeal joint of dIV. Tail longer than combined length of head and body, sparsely haired, and covered with more or less conspicuous epidermal scales; it lacks a long tuft of terminal hairs, and is weakly bicoloured (dark above, pale below). The mammae are inguinal, abdominal, postaxial, and pectoral, and number eight.

Skull with delicate rostrum flanked by moderate zygomatic notches; interorbital region symmetrically constricted (amphoral shape), with rounded, unbeaded supraorbital margins; braincase without temporal, lambdoidal, and nuchal crests. Zygomatic plate without anterodorsal spinous process, its posterior margin lying anterior to the M1 alveolus. Jugal absent (maxillary and squamosal processes in contact). Nasal bones with blunt posterior margins, not extending posteriorly beyond lacrimals, which are equally sutured to maxillary and frontal bones.
