Description
The adult male frog measures 49.2–61.5 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog measures 39.9–69.0 mm. This frog has prominent eyes that protrude from the head.
Range & habitat
This frog lives in dry habitats, such as scrubland, and in forests with at least some deciduous trees, though it has occasionally been found in evergreen forests, at the edges of forests, or on farms. This nocturnal, terrestrial frog has been found on the leaf litter and other microhabitats with some humidity. This frog is awake at night. Scientists observed the frog between 0 and 1300 meters above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places: Machalilla National Park, Manglares Churute National Park, and Mache Chindu National Park. They think it could also live in Parque Nacional Cerros de Amotape and El Angolo Game Preserve.
