The colour ranges from a dark brown to light grey, with darker blotches.

The legs and arms are striped or spotted, the tympanum is not visible, and the feet range from partially to fully webbed.

During dry periods, the frog burrows underground to avoid desiccation.

After a period of heavy rain, they emerge from the ground to feed and mate, laying their eggs in temporary pools of water.

The males will call near a water source with a rapidly repeated "hoh-hoh-hoh".
