[3] This diurnal frog is found on the leaf litter in tropical forests between 100 and 250 meters above sea level.

It has been observed in areas that have been subject to selective logging but does not seem to be located exclusively near water.

It is suspected in or its range also overlaps Yasuni National Park, Área de Proteção Ambiental Igarapé São Francisco, Estação Ecológica Rio Acre, Reserva Biológica Limoncocha, Floresta Nacional do Macaua, Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor, Parque Nacional Mapinguari, and Reserva Extrativista Arapixi.

After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to water.
