Males SVL = 21.2–28 mm, females SVL = 25–31 mm ( Savage 2002). The head is broader than it is long, with a truncate snout. Fingers with webbing, no webbing on fingers I and II, finger I longer than II; moderate toe webbing. Venter white, transparent up to mid length of abdomen; males with a humeral spine ( Suárez and Alzate-Basto 2014). Only 1 individual of the species was observed in riparian forests in station 2, calling on leaves, at 1050 m. This species is distributed Eastern Honduras and north-central Nicaragua; Costa Rica, Panama, and Pacific slopes of Colombia and Ecuador ( Frost 2019). In Colombia it is distributed in tropical humid forests, sub- Andean and Andean forests in the foothills associated with the Middle Magdalena Valley, eastern slope of the Cordillera Central and western slope of the Cordillera Oriental ( Restrepo et al. 2017, Acosta-Galvis 2019).
