Description

Males measure Шаблон:Convert and females Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length. The tympanum is distinct. The dorsum has rough skin and is black in colour, covered with small, yellow spots; juveniles may have orange spots. The chest and belly are black. The fingers and toes are long and thin and have bulbous tips.[3]

The colouration might be aposematic as the skin contains toxins that can kill other frogs.[3]

Habitat and conservation

The species' natural habitats are primary montane forests. At lower elevations (around 200 m), it is generally associated with boulder habitats along fast-flowing streams. At higher elevations (>800 m), the species is restricted to cave-like microhabitats formed by large granite boulders. These frogs are active at night and most often found perched on vertical surfaces of rocks, rarely on leaves.[3]

It can in future be threatened by habitat loss caused by clearance for tourism infrastructure, and is classified as least concern by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
