The adult male frog measures 47.3–54.8 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 44.5–48.6 mm. The skin of the dorsum is gray in color with dark gray blotches on a light gray background, which scientists liken to the appearance of lichen on rock. The forelegs are hypertrophied. The hind legs are light in color with strikingly dark bars across.[4]
