The adult male frog measures approximately 67.9 to 77.5 mm long in snout-vent length. This frog resembles Phyllomedusa camba very closely but the two species can be distinguished in nuclear and mitochondrial markers.[3]
The iris of the eye is red-brown in color with tiny, indistinct orange spots.[3]
