Specimens in the type series show differences in color pattern. For instance, in preservative two specimens of the NOR lineage, ZSM 890/2003 and ZSM 877/2003, have a distinct light vertebral stripe while ZSM 878/2003 is dorsally more or less uniformly brownish. In the NCENTR lineage, ZSM 1748/2010 has highly contrasted beige markings on a brown dorsum, including one beige patch anterior to the eyes. While ZSM 1837/2010 is, again, mostly uniform brown dorsally, and ZSM 1747/2010 is dorsally primarily beige, with some dark brown spots and incomplete light vertebral stripe laterally bordered by dark brown. Males collected during the breeding season have a distinct bright white throat, which is not obvious in any of the specimens collected at Bemanevika in June, making it difficult to sex them; however, many of these specimens appear to be males based on gonad examination, suggesting that outside of the breeding season males do not have white throats/vocal sacs. There seems to be no obvious sexual size dimorphism as is typical for the
