Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial [1].
Ecology:
There is no direct information on its habitat
and ecology, although
it is likely to be a terrestrial
species in lowland forest
, and possibly
other habitats. Like other members
of the genus, it presumably breeds
by direct development
, and is not dependent
upon water.[1].
List of Habitats:
- 1 Forest
- 1.6 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Lowland
- 14 Artificial/Terrestrial
- 14.6 Artificial/Terrestrial - Subtropical/Tropical Heavily Degraded Former Forest [more info]

Notes
Name
Status: Accepted Name

Last scrutiny: 01-Sep-2009
There are major taxonomic
problems with the genus Arthroleptis
through much of Africa. In many cases, the available names
can be
referred only to museum specimens, not to animals in the field
. This
is because the identification
of these species frequently depends
more on their vocalizations than their morphology. This species is
known from a single specimen, and it is not yet known whether or
not it is a valid
species.[1].
