[1] The specific name uluguruensis refers to the type locality of this species, Vituri in the Uluguru Mountains.

The dorsal surfaces are white and have irregular darker spots that rarely form a pattern.

[3] Its natural habitats are tropical forests at elevations of 600–2,200 m (2,000–7,200 ft) above sea level.

Breeding takes place in slow-flowing streams, swampy valley bottoms, and temporary pools in closed-canopy forest.

It occurs in a number of protected areas: Uluguru Nature Reserve, Udzungwa Mountains National Park, and the proposed Mkingu and Uzungwa Scarp Nature Reserves.
