The dorsum bears many spicules and short, laterally oriented glandular ridges.

[5] The tympanum is relatively large;[4] the supratympanic fold is distinct and reaches arm insertion.

[5] The tadpoles grow to a maximum total length of 21 mm (0.83 in), of which the tail accounts for 60% (Gosner stage 36).

[1][5] Eggs are laid in a foam nest near water, to which the tadpoles will later move.
