[3] It is found in central and south Vietnam, eastern Cambodia, and southern Laos.

The head is longer than it is broad and the snout is obtusely pointed, but rounded and projecting in lateral view.

Dorsal coloration is medium brown and may include small darker spots.

A dark brown to black narrow band runs from the snout through the eye and the tympanum, becoming less defined in the temporal area.

[2] This species occurs in wet evergreen forests, typically along streams (including rapids and waterfalls), as well as mixed evergreen and deciduous forests with bamboo, at elevations of 152–1,280 m (499–4,199 ft) above sea level.
