The new species from Pico Marumbi is characterized by male SVL = 11.6–12.5 and female SVL = 13.0–14.5 mm; and general color orange with dorsal reddish-brown irregular markings, lateral surfaces with small dark brown spots, and belly with brownish spots and small dots. The new species from Pico da Igreja is characterized by male SVL = 12.6–13.9 and female SVL = 14.6–15.3 mm; and general color orange, lateral surfaces with small dark brown spots, and belly with brownish coalescent spots and small dots.
