Description of bumblebee toad

This  toad was originally described in 1875. It grows to about 2.75 cm, with females almost always being larger than males. The back of the toad is black with yellow spots and stripes. The lower ventral area is black with red markings, and the feet are typically solid red except for the hind toes. These ventral red spots can extend to the dorsum, particularly in females. Markings are highly variable and it is rare for any of them to be symmetrical.
