The adult male frog measures 42.2–48.8 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 47.2–56.8 mm. This frog is medium-brown in color with small dark spots. Its lips are white. It has a wide, dark stripe down each side of its body, from nose to groin. Its belly is white.[3]

This frog has vomerine teeth in its jaw and disks on its toes for climbing. The adult male frog has more robust front legs than the adult female frog.[3]

The scientists who wrote the first paper about this frog named it malayana because it is the only species among its close relatives that lives in Peninsular Malaysia.[3]
