Coloration is olive-green with a contrasting dark brown pattern of irregular spots and bands, in many specimens forming an "X" between the eyes, on forehead, and on shoulders.

The venter is pale yellowish white with brown mottling (particularly on throat and chest), and interspersed with whitish tubercles.

[2] Specimens from the type locality were collected at night from rocks or low vegetation along a small stream within primary lower montane forest at about 1,002 m (3,287 ft) above sea level.

At the other known locality, a single specimen was found on low vegetation by a deeply entrenched small stream in a selectively logged secondary forest at 1,104 m (3,622 ft).

These sites are offered some protection from logging by their high elevation and extremely rugged topography.
