The dorsum is rough and cream to brown in colour.

There is a pair of pale lateral bands that in some females might be deep red.

[1] The eggs are deposited under grass tufts in burrows and have direct development[1] (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[4]).

This species tolerates marginally disturbed habitats and can locally be relatively common.

However, its range is relatively small and its habitat can be adversely affected by human-induced fires and forest loss.
