The adult male frog is 35.6-44.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 36.7 mm to 46.5 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is brown with spots. The back legs are usually brown in color with lighter marks. The belly is white in color. It has disks on its toes. Unlike other frogs in its group, it does not have stripes on the sides of its body.[3]
This frog lives in forests in southern Brazil on the Atlantic side (east side) of the hills. They live near streams where the water moves fast. [4]
If the frog sees or hears danger, it will jump into the water. It will come out again soon.[3]
Scientists named this frog for Dr. Adão José Cardoso. He studied animals in Brazil.[3]
