Body
changeScientists saw three adult male frogs. They were 20.3 to 20.8 mm long from nose to rear end and three adult female frogs were 21.4 to 23.8 mm long. The skin of the frog's mouth is light brown or cream-white in color, with small dark brown spots. The skin of the frog's back is light brown in color with darker brown spots and patterns. The skin of the frog's front legs is red-brown in color with spots and patterns. The sides of the body are dark brown with white spots. The sides of the back legs are red-brown in color with some dark brown stripes. The backs of the back legs are yellow in color and sometimes have dark brown marks or patterns. The adult male frog has a dark brown chest and throat and the adult female frog has a white chest, throat, and belly. The frog has a dark black stripe down each side of its body to its rear end.[2]
Home
changeScientists saw this frog in exactly one place, between 2500 and 2577 meters above sea level in the Cordillera Oriental. They saw the frog in a cloud forest in the mountains.[1][2]
Scientists saw the frog in a protected park: Las Nubes Private Natural Reserve.[2]
Young
changeThis frog is awake during the day when it is warm. The male frog chooses a good place, about 1-4 m away from other males. He sits in the dead leaves on the ground and calls to the female frogs.[2]
Scientists saw one female frog carrying three tadpoles on her back.[2]
The tadpoles have oval-shaped bodies. At one point in their lives they are about 3.8 to 4.4 mm long not counting the tail and 8.6 to 9.7 mm with the tail.[2]
