[1][3][4] It is named in honour of Jeet Sukumaran, a biologist who has worked with Malaysian amphibians.

The dorsum is nearly uniform brown but has an orangish-yellow interscapular spot and a thin, faint vertebral stripe.

The venter is dark, with whitish-yellow spots towards the flanks and extending from hind limb insertions to cover gular region and mandible.

The undersides of hind limbs are brownish-red in females but brown in males.

[2] The species inhabits hilly, closed canopy forests at elevations of 1,059–1,125 m (3,474–3,691 ft) above sea level.
