Identification. This species exhibits a pointed head and a skinfold across the back of the head. They can range from a gray or silvery to brown or reddish with various intensities of dark and light. This species can be distinguished from Gastrophryne olivacea (Hallowell, 1857) by its strongly pigmented and mottled belly and from Hypopachus variolosus (Cope, 1866) by the absence of 2 spades on each hindfoot.
