The length of all finger disks is almost the same as or slightly larger than the tympanum; outer fingers are 2 / 3 webbed; penultimate phalanx of the fourth toe is free of webbing; subarticular tubercles and inner metatarsals are small; the heel reaches the anterior eyes or nostril when adpressed; tibia length 1 / 2 of body length when adpressed (TL/SVL = 0.506 ��� 0.555).

It was found to be active at 19 ��� 22��C and 73 ��� 92% humidity. Remarks This species is known only from southwestern and central Sulawesi, found above 1000 m asl (Iskandar and Mumpuni 2004).
