Males 6-8.5 cm in length; females 8-10 cm. The head is flat, the length of which is longer than the width. The snout is short and pointed. The lips are white; the tympanum is large and visible, surrounded by white margins. The back is brown or light brown. There is a distinct dorso-lateral fold on each side of the body, lined with black lines and irregular black spots.
