features
The species reaches a length of 45 millimeters. The animals are very varied in color. The top of the body is gray, brown or reddish and mottled or speckled black or with large light spots. Sometimes there is a fine light longitudinal line in the middle of the back. The thighs and the underside of the body are brown and monochrome or spotted yellow or marbled yellow with dark brown reticulations. The front head is short and rounded. The Canthus rostralis is clearly recognizable. The rein region is deepened. The interorbital space is as wide as an upper eyelid. The eardrum is clearly visible and hardly half as wide as the eye. The first finger is shorter than the second. The fingers' adhesive discs are very large and roughly triangular, wider than they are long and much larger than those of the toes. The toes are connected by a web of webbing. There are no subarticular cusps or metatarsal cusps . With the hind leg in contact with the body, the tibiotarsal joint extends to the shoulder or eardrum. The skin is smooth and padded on the throat and abdomen. Occasionally there may be a fine longitudinal fold in the middle of the back and a pair of lines converging close behind the head towards the back.
