Identification. These small frogs are green dorsally with small blue dots and a white opaque peritoneum ventrally. They lack finger webbing and humeral spines present in some other species of glass frogs. Males range from 24.0– 26.2 mm SVL and females 27.8–30.2 mm SVL ( Ron et al. 2019).
Habitat. These glass frogs were found in both primary and secondary forest along trails. One specimen was found in the spray zone of the waterfall.

Identification. These small frogs have bright green slightly granular skin with small yellow spots dorsally. The venter has an opaque white peritoneum. There is moderate webbing between fingers III and IV, and hu- meral spines are absent. Males are 20.6–23.2 mm SVL and females are 24.12–25.7 mm SVL ( Ron et al. 2019).
