Digits with enlarged scansors, lamellae in straight transverse series, all divided except those on the apical portion of the digit, the distal most scansor and a few basal lamellae that are undivided; lamellae beneath digit I: 7 (manus) and 7 (pes), digit IV: 9–10 (manus) and 10 (pes). Males with 16–17 precloacal-femoral pores on each thigh separated by seven pore-less scales. Three postcloacal spurs on each side; tail depressed, scales on dorsal aspect of tail heterogeneous, slightly larger than granular scales on dorsum, intermixed with a series of 6 enlarged, strongly pointed, keeled tubercles on each whorl.
