. A male and female in amplexus were seen descending to the swamp floor, from the base of a shrub. On reaching the ground, the pair moved into the leaf litter where both individuals slowly changed colour, becoming almost inconspicuous on the forest floor. The female was seen digging into the slushy soil and ovipositing into the resulting shallow burrow in the mud, following which she mixed the semiterrestrial eggs with muddy soil. Digging and mixing was aided by employing her well-developed hindlimb webbing. Ensuing oviposition, the pair moved away, after which they could not be relocated. Photographic documentation of breeding behaviour was not possible because of failure of camera equipment at the time. However, clutches of developing eggs washed loosely in the swamp floor along a rivulet, and a single early stage tadpole (
