A chrome yellow dorsolateral stripe of variable length. Eye golden green or, in juveniles, reddish. Throat turquoise, breast white, abdomen translucent green. Underside of limbs pale green, feet and hands yellow.

This species is largely unknown but has been found from extreme southeastern Nigeria, through southwestern Cameroon (including at Mount Cameroon, Mount Manenguba, the Rumpi Hills, Fopwanga (near Nkondjock), the Mbos Plains, and the Yaounde area), east to Mbet, and south to Belinga in northeastern Gabon. It is likely to occur in Equatorial Guinea, but there have not been any records so far. It is probably a low to mid altitude species, but it has been recorded up to 1,850m asl.
