Description
Adult males measure 34–44 mm (1.3–1.7 in) and adult females 39–45 mm (1.5–1.8 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is distinct and supra-tympanic fold is prominent. The fingers have expanded discs but no webbing; the toes are webbed but the discs are smaller than those on the fingers. The dorsum is brownish-greenish and has darker blotches. Dorsal skin is rather warty with dark, protruding dots. The lower parts are whitish; there are few dark spots on the throat.

Spinomantis peraccae occurs in pristine rainforest along streams at elevations of 500–2,000 m (1,600–6,600 ft) above sea level. It is arboreal. The eggs are laid on leaves above water. The tadpole develop in slow-flowing streams.
