The adult male frog measurs 20–21 mm in snout-vent length.[3] This frog has longer legs and more extensive webbing than other frogs in Philautus.[4]
Scientists believe this frog grows through direct development with no free-swimming tadpole stage, but this has not been confirmed.[3]
This frog is not classified as endangered, though it is subject to habitat degradation.[3]
