Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater [1].
Ecology:
The species is known only from tropical
mountain rainforest, along
the banks of fast-flowing streams
(Orlov et al.
, 2006).
Vocalizing males sit on the rocks, fallen trunks
and wide leaves
of plants
along the banks of the streams (Orlov et al.,
2006). It presumably breeds
in streams by larval development. (Ref.
291495).
