Boulenophrys palpebralespinosa is a small toad, measuring only 37 mm (1.5 in) in length.[4]
It occurs near streams in evergreen forest at elevations of 600–1,800 m (2,000–5,900 ft) above sea level. The tadpoles develop in clear mountain streams. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by rubber plantations, forest product collection, agricultural and forestry activities, fires, and presumably pollution.[1]
