The frog lives in primary and secondary forest but it is exclusively reported in forest habitats. It is found in the leaf litter. Scientists have seen this frog between 0 and 750 m (0 and 2,461 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have reproted the frog in some protected places, including Reserva Biológica Nova Lombardia.[1]
Reproduction
This frog lays eggs in nests made out of bubbles. The tadpoles develop in water.[1]
