Males measure 26mm28mm in snout–vent length and have shagreen dorsal skin with low warts. Snout is truncate.[2]
Habitat and conservation
Its natural habitat is tropical humid forest at 750m-780mm (2,460feet-2,560feetm) asl. It occurs along streams. Eggs are laid on the upper sides of leaves overhanging streams. Its conservation status is uncertain, although habitat loss from agricultural development and the clearance of vegetation overhanging streams is a threat.
