[[10]]Description
Adult males measure {{convert|23|-|29|mm|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|21|-|29|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. Skin of the dorsum is smooth or shagreened.[10] The eyes are relatively large. The tympanum is visible and oval in shape. The arms are long while the legs are relatively short.[ The dorsal background color is dark brown to slightly lighter brown. There are yellow, orange, light brown, or greenish blotches or spots. The limbs are banded. Males have vocal slits.][[10]]
Habitat and conservation
Its natural habitats are tropical seasonal forests[1] at elevations of {{convert|100|–|800|m|abbr=on}} above sea level.[2] Individuals are found in a range of microhabitats: on the rocks, on the ground, under rocks and debris,[1] and in a cave.[18] Although locally abundant and tolerating some habitat modification, it is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
