Description
This species has a brown band on its head that starts near the tip of its snout, continues along the canthus rostralis, and through the eye, and then completely envelops the tympanum.
It has warts on its skin that are normally located in a concentration on the dorsum. The fingertips of this species are somewhat swollen and wide at the tips. However, the ydo not have a marginal fold outlining the disk pad. The first finger is always longer than the second. There is a dorsolateral fold that starts from just behind the eye, and runs dorsally to the groin. The tympanum is almost equal in size to the eye. [2]
