The new species is diagnosable from known congeners in possessing the following characteristics: head longer than wide; tympanum rounded, smaller than orbit diameter; supratympanic fold absent; finger I longer than finger II; a series of large, flat glands on lateral aspect of body; broad webbing on toe IV to penultimate subarticular tubercle, reaching tip of toes as a narrow sheath; tips of digits flattened to form disks with distinct circummarginal grooves separating dorsum of disks from ventrum; tibia length/snout-vent length ratio 47.23-54.15; and absence of humeral gland on forelimb of males. The snout-vent length range shown by the type series is 30.4-32.5 mm.
