Atelopus pulcher measures about Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length. It has a slender body with quite smooth skin. It is blackish brown above, with various light green markings.[3]

Breeding might occur throughout the year. The tadpoles grow to about Шаблон:Convert in body length and Шаблон:Convert in total length. The tadpole is dorso-ventrally flattened and has a large ventral suction disc behind its mouth. It is similar to other Atelopus tadpoles except that its upper beak is shorter than the lower one.[4]

Conservation

Atelopus pulcher is threatened by chytridiomycosis and habitat loss. It is relatively rare species that is declining in abundance and has disappeared from many known localities.[2] It is sometimes collected for the pet trade, and this might contribute to local declines.[5]
