We recorded four specimens (DHMECN 14462-14463-14464-14465) of body sizes between 15.10 mm and 22.93 mm collected in bromeliads in the montane forests of Machay Reserve. This species is characterised by having conical tubercles on the upper eyelid, dorsolateral folds and a distinctive colouration pattern on the flanks, groin and hidden surfaces of the thigh characterised by a brown background with white spots.
