[ Common name barking robber frog has been coined for it.[3]]Etymology
The specific name inusitatus is derived from Latin in- (=negation) and usitatus (="usual" or "common"), meaning "rare or uncommon". The species was described based on three specimens collected from three separate locations.[2]
Description
Males measure {{convert|15|-|23|mm|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|17|-|26|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length.[ The snout is subacuminate in dorsal view and protruding in lateral profile and has a pointed tip. The canthus rostralis is sharp. The tympanum is prominent. Both fingers and toes bear broad discs and have lateral fringes. Dorsal skin is shagreened or smooth; there are large warts laterally. Females are dorsally green.[2] Male coloration varies from green to pinkish brown with dark brown markings.][ The limbs have faint brown bars. The venter is white.[2]]
Habitat and conservation
Its natural habitat is cloud forest at elevations of {{convert|1300|–|2160|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. It occurs in low vegetation near streams.[1][ It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture, logging, and human settlement.[1]]
