Description
Adult males have snout–vent lengths of 17.3–19.7 mm (0.68–0.78 in) and adult females have one of 21.8 mm (0.86 in). The frog is almost entirely bright yellow and orange dorsally, with some individuals have dark grayish or whitish-grayish spots. The underside largely lacks pigments and is almost transparent, excepting the yellow male vocal sac. Diasporus citrinobapheus' unique yellow-orange coloration separates it from all other Central American species in its genus, except D. tigrillo.
Range & habitat
Diasporus citrinobapheus is endemic to Panama. It inhabits the Caribbean slopes of the western Serranía de Tabasará and both the Pacific and Caribbean slopes of the eastern Serranía de Tabasará. It is a denizen of mature forest, secondary growth, and plantations, but avoids open habitats like grasslands.
