Snout rounded in dorsal and lateral aspects. Eyes medium-sized (ED/ BL=0.110.16), laterally located, visible in ventral view.

). Dorsal surfaces of head yellow ochre (#14) to tawny olive (#17); lateral surfaces slightly lighter in hue, marked with concentrations of mahogany red (#34) to warm sepia (#40) spots. A pattern of relatively evenly-spaced, rounded warm sepia (#40) spots is a prominent feature of the dorsal surfaces; dorsal and lateral surfaces also display a fine dusting of irregular white or gold specks. A distinct, but poorly defined warm sepia (#40) stripe extends from a point near the anterior edge of the oral disc towards the eye and continues as an indistinct postocular stripe onto the body. Iris gold, marked on either side of the pupil with a warm sepia (#40) spot; both dark spots align with the dark eye stripe that originates at the snout tip. Ventral skin is transparent, revealing reddish hues anteriorly at the thoracic level and cream white (#52) coloration at the level of the intestines. Throughout the larval development period, the intestinal tract becomes increasingly suffused with black pigment. This ontogenetic change creates a striking black-and-white ventral pattern that contrasts sharply with the dorsal and lateral coloration. Tail fins are transparent, marked with black or raw umber (#23) blotches of irregular shape and size, as well as small white spots. Tail musculature is yellow ochre (#14) with black or warm sepia (#40) spots, occasionally with a fine black line on the medial side of the tail that can be intact or interrupted. Upon preservation in 10% formalin, the larval coloration fades to pale greenish white (#97), whereas the eye stripe, dorsal spots and tail markings become black.

have been observed calling year-round but display a significant increase in calling activity during periods of heightened precipitation. Vocalizations are generally first observed around 16:00 h and continue throughout the night, until sunrise. Individuals can be heard during the day, especially during periods of heavy rainfall. Most calling activity takes place along the vegetated wetland perimeter, density of calling males decreases towards the center of the wetland where water levels are deeper. Males have been observed calling in a head-down, horizontal, or head-up position, as they perch on vegetation. Individuals occupied a variety of herbaceous plant perches, but most were found on the locally common grass

The frogs inhabit an 8-hectare marsh with a seasonally fluctuating, but permanent water level. The wetland is continually fed by a small tributary, by rainwater collected from surrounding hillsides, and likely by groundwater that wells up from bottom springs.A narrow discharge channel facilitates slow, directional water movement through the wetland. In the past, sections of this wetland have been channelized for irrigation purposes but it is now reverting to a more natural state. The surrounding hills and foothills of nearby mountains are largely forested, but areas of cultivated grassland are interspersed throughout the region. The shallow part of the marshs littoral zone is dominated by the grass

The specific epithet “celeste” (light blue, or sky-blue in Spanish), is used as a noun in apposition, and refers to the striking blue coloration seen on this frogs axillary membranes and groin area, as well as on the inflated vocal sac in adult males. Perhaps more importantly, the authors want to celebrate the river Río Celeste, famous for the distinctive turquoise-blue hue of its water, whose watershed feeds the wetlands that provide critical habitat for its namesake frog. Río Celeste represents a critical natural resource and an important economic driver for local communities, as well as a nexus for sharing the beauty of nature with visitors from outside the region. The fact that this frog was discovered through local wetland restoration efforts is a testament to the critical importance of protecting our aquatic resources.
