Scientists saw one adult female frog. She was 22 mm long from nose to rear end. She had white spots on her belly.[4]

Scientists named this frog for the Greek words astralos for "spotted" and gaster for "stomach." Together, they mean "starry belly."[4]

Scientists saw the frog near streams in forests. Scientists saw the frog between 700 and 900 meters above sea level.[2][1]

Scientists have not seen the frog inside Chagres National Park, but they think it may live there.[1]

Danger

Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. They think it probably lives inside protected parks, but they are not sure.[1]
