[3] The specific name parkerae honors Dr. Nancy Parker, undergraduate adviser of one of the scientists who described the species.

The snout is bluntly rounded in dorsal view and posteroventrally inclined in profile.

[2] Anomaloglossus parkerae occurs in the tropical montane forests of Sierra de Lema at elevations of 860–1,300 m (2,820–4,270 ft) above sea level.

[2] Anomaloglossus parkerae is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by construction of power lines and the associated access roads that results in deforestation, and by tourism.

Its population status is unknown but it is thought to be common and protected by Canaima National Park.
