Description
The adult male frog measures 15.9-18.8 mm long in snout-vent length.[4]
Habitat
This frog lives in rocky and sandy streams, often near larger tributaries. Scientists observed it between 50 and 200 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists note that the frog lives in one protected place: Parc Amazonien de Guyane.[1]
Reproduction
The males sit near streams and call to the female frogs, with activity greatest after dawn and near dusk. After the eggs hatch, the male frogs carry the tadpoles to streams.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this frog as endangered. Scientists infer that the principal threat is chytridiomycosis. Although they have not seen the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on the frog, the frog's decline mirrors that of other amphibians in French Guiana killed by chytridiomycosis.[1]
