Odorrana absita

Adult males in the type series measure 34–41 mm (1.3–1.6 in) and adult females 51–68 mm (2.0–2.7 in) in snout–vent length (based on respectively 2 and 3 specimens). The overall appearance is moderately slender. The head is narrow and the snout is projecting and obtusely pointed; rounded in lateral view. The tympanum is distinct. The finger and toe tips are expanded to discs; the toes are almost fully webbed. Coloration is dorsally beige with light green flecking; there is pinkish wash on upper sides, forelimbs, and lips. Black spotting is present on the dorsal surface of snout tip, lips, upper eyelids, forelimbs, dorsolateral folds, and flanks. Black streaks run below edge of canthus from tip of snout to eye, obliquely from eye to commisure of jaws, and from eye along supratympanic fold to posterior rim of tympanum, continuing obliquely to shoulder. The limbs have brown crossbars. The venter and undersides of limbs are creamy-yellow. The iris is coppery and has a dark red blotch anterior and posterior to the pupil. Males have a subgular vocal sac.
