All strabomantids seem to have direct development, a trait that might have facilitated their diversification in moist areas where standing water is rare (e.g., cloud forests). Most species in this family lack webbing between fingers and toes. Strabomantids represent the most diverse clade in YBS, with 6 described and 3 undescribed species.

Separate box plots are shown for adults and juveniles for species in which at least 10 individuals of each stage were found. Grey = all individuals; black = adults; and white = juveniles. The boundaries of boxes indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles; the line within the box is the median; error bars are the 10th and 90th percentiles; and points below and above error bars are outliers. Sample sizes (numbers of frogs) are shown above plots in parentheses.
