Description from George Albert Boulenger is:[3] «Vomerine teeth in two small oblique series extending a little beyond the hinder edge of the choanae.

Head moderate; snout scarcely pointed; canthus rostralis indistinct; interorbital space much narrower than the upper eyelid; tympanum distinct, about two-thirds the size of the eye.

Male with two external vocal vesicles, opening by two slits beneath the angles of the mouth.» They have the ability to leap out of the water from a floating position.

[5] The species is widely distributed in South Asia and Southeast Asia, from southeastern Iran, southern Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and eastern India at low to moderate elevations east through Bangladesh and northeastern India to extreme western Myanmar.

In addition, records exist from Sri Lanka (likely Eyphlyctis mudigere), Thailand (possibly introduced), and Vietnam.
