SVL ~ 50 mm), elongate (AG/SVL 0.44–0.55), long-tailed (oTL/SVL 0.90–1.01) member of the A. rhombifer group with a pale, dark-edged, zigzag dorsal pattern that is even and continuous (i.e., typically not broken by any narrow, transverse lines from the nape to the hips). Webbing absent, or minimal, between third and fourth toes. Males with 2–5 (typically, 3 or 4), pointed, postcloacal spurs (smaller and rounded in females) and 4–14 precloacal pores, with a 0–2 scale gap in the series. The first supralabial is usually taller than the second, and wider or of equal width to the second. Usually, 5 scales contacting margin of nostril.
