). The Kokolopori population probably belongs to the central Congolian evolutionary lineage. Some individuals have contrasting coloration with a dark dorsum, bright lips and spots on the flanks, and a distinctly marbled venter (
). This species was commonly found in most habitats, but especially in disturbed places near human settlements and along streams. This species does not seem to enter deeper primary forests. The tadpoles are contrastingly colored with black spots on a red background. The skin glands of tadpoles produce a poisonous secretion, making them unpalatable to most vertebrate predators (
