Description of holotype Body robust, bufoniform. Head as wide as long, slightly narrower than body; head length 38% of snout-vent length, snout short with length almost equal to eye diameter, rounded in lateral and dorsal views; nostrils protuberant, directed anterolaterally; canthus rostralis not distinct; loreal region weakly concave; lips nearly sigmoid; eye slightly protruding in dorsal and lateral views, eye diameter 26% of head length; tympanum absent; vocal sac not expanded externally; vocal slits present; tongue longer than wide, posterior 1/2 not adherent to floor of mouth; choanae relatively small and round; vomerine odonthophores absent. Upper arm and forearm relatively slender, upper arm approximately as long as forearm; fingers IÂ?III robust, short and distinct; finger IV reduced; tip of fingers I and II slightly rounded, tip of finger III pointed; relative lengths of fingers IV , I , II , III; subarticular tubercles and inner and outer metacarpal tubercles absent. Legs relatively short, thigh robust; thigh length 37% of snout-vent length, tibia length 97% of thigh length; toe I externally absent, toes IIÂ?III short and distinct; toe IV robust and distinct, toe V very reduced only visible as a slight bulge; relative lengths of toes V , II , III , IV; subarticular tubercles and inner metatarsal tubercles absent; outer metatarsal tubercle distinct, large, and ovoid.

Lateral areas of body, flanks, and thighs with small dark brown spots. Limbs dark orange. Throat dark orange and belly orange with brownish coalescent spots and small dots, and with a short, ventral pale bright yellow stripe. Coloration of holotype in preservative:General color pale cream; lateral spots dark brown; coalescent spots and small dots on belly pale greyish. Measurements of holotype: snout-vent length 13.1; head length 5.0; head width 5.3; internarinal distance 1.3; eye diameter 1.3; interorbital distance 2.6; eye-nostril distance 0.7; thigh length 4.8; tibia length 4.7. Variation in the type series Color in life on dorsum orange varying from spectrum orange to chrome orange; central head marking usually more greenish than other head marks; lateral small glands dark orange or slightly brownish; lateral areas of body with different amounts of small dark brown spots; belly of some specimens with a short, ventral pale bright yellow stripe.
