). As typical for all tadpoles of the group, the larvae belong to the “ suctorial ” ecomorphological guild. They have a large oral disk used to adhere to stones in fast-flowing water, a labial tooth row formula of 7 (5-7) / 3, and large numbers of oral papillae (222 marginal and 315 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by a pattern of several rounded patches formed by condensation of spots on the posterior half of the tail musculature.

An arboreal, nocturnal treefrog found in humid rainforests along fast flowing streams. Little is known of the ecology of the species. Many calling individuals of this species are sitting too high in trees to reach, or calling from perches where they are difficult to see and their calls are also often difficult to localize.

(22.8 ° C air temperature) consist of two different note types, namely calls starting with a short series of short, fast repeated notes, followed by three distinctly longer notes, which are separated by longer intervals. All notes are tonal in character, with long notes exhibiting a distinct upward frequency modulation, with a frequency shift comprising approximately 300 Hz. Amplitude across the entire call is slightly increasing, with the first short notes being relatively soft. Long notes have the maximum call energy in the middle of the note, but amplitude modulation within notes is somewhat irregular. Numerical parameters of two analyzed calls of different individuals are as follows: call duration 11291222 ms; notes / call 78; short note duration 3051 ms (34.7 ± 7.5 ms); long note duration 147259 ms (199.7 ± 44.7 ms); inter-note interval 19179 ms (62.5 ± 55.9 ms); dominant frequency 41184347 Hz (4258 ± 82 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 38004500 Hz.

Numerical parameters of two analyzed calls of the 1994 recording are as follows: call duration 7641030 ms; notes / call 78; short note duration 1549 ms (27.8 ± 10.6 ms); long note duration 142231 ms (176.5 ± 38.1 ms); inter-note interval 2261 ms (35.8 ± 14.1 ms); dominant frequency 42894441 Hz (4369 ± 64 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 40004700 Hz.
