Description:
This arboreal frog species is small, with a body length of approximately 42 mm. The skin is rough throughout the body, predominantly on the back, with grayish-brown and light gray stripes on the forelimbs and hind limbs. The anterior half of the body exhibits patches of black and pale yellow. The rump features a light gray patch with clearly visible, large tubercles. The tympanum (eardrum) is distinct and the same size as the eye. The eyes are black. The limbs have thin, approximately 3/4 webbed feet. The toes possess prominent adhesive discs, the upper part of which is dark brown on both the forelimbs and hind limbs.
Biology and Ecology:
This species inhabits forested areas at elevations between 200 and 900 meters. Adults live in large tree hollows or fallen trees that contain rainwater. They are occasionally found in concentrated aggregations near man-made water reservoirs located near forest edges. Their diet consists of insects and larvae found in the area, including mosquito larvae. The breeding season is from April to October. Eggs are laid in clumps of 5-8, adhering to the walls of tree hollows above the water surface, and the tadpoles hatch and develop within the water.
