In the sacral area there is a spot on each side. The upper arms and thighs are mostly colorless. The belly is completely colorless or dusted brown. The head is wider than it is long and takes up 40% of the total length. The front head is trimmed vertically and shorter than the eye. The canthus rostralis is sharp and curved. The rein region is crooked and less recessed. The interorbital space is hardly wider than an upper eyelid . The eardrum is only vaguely visible and about a third as wide as the eye. The first finger is shorter than the second. The adhesive discs on the fingers are large and those on the toes are small. On the third finger, the adhesive disc is about half the width of the eye. The toes are connected by a web of webbing at their base . Subarticular cusps and metatarsal cusps are poorly developed. With the hind leg placed forward against the body, the tibiotarsal joint extends to the eye. The skin is smooth and pebbled only on the underside of the head and torso.
