It can be identified by skin of dorsum shagreen; venter coarsely granular; discoidal fold and dorsolateral folds absent. Upper eyelids lack prominent tubercles. Finger I <II, discs on the digits moderately expanded. Dorsal coloration variable, typically tan with dark brown flecks and chevrons; venter white with fine mottling.

Similar species in adjacent localities are: P. peruvianus , which differs by Finger I> II, and dorsolateral folds present; P. skydmainos , which has a dark brown facemask and dorsolateral folds ( Duellman and Lehr 2009, Padial and de la Riva 2009).
