Description
Two adult males measured 21.6 and 22.1 mm (0.85 and 0.87 in) while a single female measured 25.0 mm (0.98 in) in snout–vent length; the female had 21 eggs 2.3–2.5 mm (0.091–0.098 in) in diameter in her ovaries. The tympanum is visible. The fingers are slightly webbed and the toes moderately webbed. The dorsal skin is strongly granular. The coloration of living specimens is unknown.
Range & habitat
The type series was collected from terrestrial bromeliads at the summit of Cerro Aracamuni at about 1,600 m (5,200 ft) above sea level. The vegetation at the summit is mostly low (<1 m), with forested areas in depressions and along streams. There are no known threats to this species, although its small range makes it vulnerable (Cerro Aracamuni is a tepui with a relatively small summit). It occurs in the Serranía de la Neblina National Park.
