Appearance

The adult male frog is 38.5 to 51.9 mm long in snout-vent length. The adult female frog is 53.5 to 72.6 mm long. The skin on the ventrum is coffee-colored, and the dorsum is yellow or orange.

Naming

The species was originally synonymized with the map tree frog but was resurrected as a species in 2020.

Habitat

This frog lives in primary and secondary forests, pantanals, artificial open areas, and partially flooded areas. Their presence in secondary forest and human-altered habitats suggests they are somewhat resilient in the face of disturbance. They prefer streams with fast-moving water.
