Description
The adult male frog measures 41.1–47.3 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 52.7–59.8 mm.[4]
Habitat
Scientists observed this frog areas where forests transition to other types of habitats, such as pature, and at least one urban area. The frogs seem to utilize the leaf litter microhabitat, but not exclusively. Scientists observed the frog between 200 and 300 meters above sea level.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this species as least concern. The principal threats are habitat loss, particularly deforestation, in favor of cattle grazing and soybean monoculture. However, because this only takes place in some parts of the frog's range, it is not in danger of extinction.[1]
