P. shrevei is endemic to Saint Vincent, an island in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles that is part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.[1] [2] Its natural habitats are rainforests forest edge, and montane meadows at elevations of 275m–922mm (902feet–3,025feetm) above sea level. It lives both on the ground and on vegetation.
Males measure 20.8mm23.4mm and females 23.5mm34.2mm in snout–vent length. P. shrevei has a rich wood-brown to rich tan dorsum. There is a dark interocular bar bordering the snout; otherwise the dorsal patterning varies, some individuals are patternless whereas others have a broad dark brown scapular "W" and other patterns. The ventral surface is creamy. The sides are red, as are the undersides of both fore- and hindlimbs.
The call is a two-note call, emitted from the leaves of trees and shrubs.
P. shrevei is threatened by habitat loss caused by urbanization, tourism development, and agriculture.
