In this study, males SVL = 29.1–31.7 mm, females SVL = 33.1–40.4 mm. The species is identified by a snout rounded in dorsal view, absent membranes between the fingers of the hands and the toes have membranes along three-fourths of their length except between fingers I and II, where they are rudimentary; the skin on the back is smooth and the skin on the belly is granular ( Duellman 1978). Dorsum is brown or pale matt yellow, the belly var- ies between cream and creamy yellow, and the vocal sac is yellow. A total of 7 individuals were observed between 250 and 380 m, on leaves of vegetation in water bodies and grasslands close to wet forest relicts, in Station 5. The spe- cies is distributed from Panamá to Brazil, and in Colombia, it is present in the inter-Andean valleys, the Chocó biogeographic zone, Caribbean region and the Amazon ( Suárez and Alzate Basto 2014, Acosta-Galvis 2019).
