Appearance change
The adult male frog is about 27.2 to 34.2 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 33.2 to 36.4 mm long. This frog is medium-brown in color. Sometimes it has stripes down its sides and sometimes it does not.[2][3]
Home change
This frog lives in areas where human beings have cut down the trees. Scientists think this frog is not in danger from cutting down too many trees.[3]
The male frog sits on the ground or on low plants and sings for the female. He does this near a pond, lake, or other body of water.[2][3]
Name change
This frog is named after the Tsáchila people, who live nearby.[2][3]
