Description edit
Most of the specimens of N. degiustoi are postmetamorphic individuals, snout-vent length between 90 and 150 millimetres (3.5 and 5.9 in). CPBA-V-14003 consists of disarticulated cranial and postcranial elements, and may correspond either to a late metamorphosing tadpole or an early postmetamorphic individual.[5]
