Identification. This small, brownish frog has a yellow- ish belly, thin digital discs, and a sloping snout. Toe III is the same length as finger V. Males reach a maximum size of 29 mm SVL, and females almost reach 37 mm SVL ( Ron et al. 2019).

Remarks. This species is listed as Near Threatened by the Ecuadorian Red List and Endangered by the IUCN Red List. Ron et al. (2019) gave the altitudinal range of this species as 2300–2900 m a.s.l., so this record extends the elevational range about 1,000 m a.s.l. lower.
