The following characters distinguish C. greeningi from its congener C. galeata Pombal Jr, Menezes, Fontes, Rocha & Van Sluys, 2012 : head with ridge on the posterior border; skin of dorsum granulate and relatively large discs on fingers and toes, which present keratinized spicules. Snout-vent length varies between 34–82 mm ( Carvalho 1941). Corythomantis greeningi was recorded 4 times in the RN and never in sympatry with C. galeata in this state ( Jared et al. 2005, Pombal et al. 2012, Magalhães et al. 2013, Caldas et al. 2016). This species can be found in the entrance of tree cavities and among rocks. When found in tree cavities, the cavities contain humid organic material ( Jared et al. 1999). Our individual was collect in such a cavity. The voucher of the individual is UFRN 4123.
