A microhylid without vomerine teeth; choanae rather small and placed well forward in the roof of the mouth; tongue half as wide as mouth opening, an elongate oval in form, its posterior one-half free and unnotched. Snout short, pointed when viewed from above, pointed in profile, the upper jaw extending considerably beyond lower; nostrils more lateral than superior, not at all projecting, their distance from end of snout about one-half that from eye, sepa- rated from each other by an interval but slightly less than their distance from eye. Can thus rostralis very slightly defined; loreal region rounded. Eye small, inconspicuous, its diameter slightly less than its distance from nostrils; palpebral membrane not reticulate; interorbital distance about three times the width of upper eyelid,.
