The adult male frog is 20-21 mm long from nose to rear end.[3] This frog has longer legs and more webbed skin than other frogs in Philautus.[4]

Scientists believe this frog hatches out of eggs as small frogs and never swims as a tadpole, but they are not sure.[3]

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out, but human beings are cutting down its forests.[3]
