Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raios dorsais (total) : 5 - 6; Raios anais : 4. Metamorphosed females differs from Bufoceratias wedli and Bufoceratias thele in having a considerably shorter illicium (25-40% standard length versus 83-225% standard length) and a much larger and more complex esca (Ref. 51070).
Males and larvae unknown (Ref. 51070). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
