Adult snout-vent lengths vary from 49-66mm among males and 57-80mm among females. The dorsal surface of the body is very warty, with many small warts between larger warts. Dorsal spots lack accentuated borders. There are dark spots along the medial external surface of the upper jaw. There is ventral spotting only in the pectoral region and occasionally on the throat. The paratoid is elongated, usually with a heavily pitted surface.
