Cóndor Poison Frog

The adult male frog measures about 18.5–20.6 mm in snout-vent length and one adult female frog measured 21.6 mm. The skin of the frog's dorsum and ventral areas is black in color. The adult male frog's head is red in color from the upper mouth to the eyes. The female frog's head is uniform black. The front legs are orange-brown in color above the elbow, most intensely at the feet. The bottoms of the front feet are orange in color. The bottoms of the back feet are black in color. The iris of the eye is black in color.

This largely arboreal frog lives in montane cloud forests, both primary and secondary. It is found at the bases of trees with bromeliad plants growing nearby, between 1770 and 2130 meters above sea level.

Scientists named this frog condor for the area in which it lives: la Cordillera del Condor (Condor Range).
