[1][2] The specific name cochranae honors Doris Mable Cochran, an American herpetologist.

The lower parts have light pink color, and flanks and joints show violet tones.

[4] Aplastodiscus cochranae live in understorey vegetation of the edge of rainforest at elevations of 500–800 m (1,600–2,600 ft) above sea level.

[1] Aplastodiscus cochranae is an abundant species, and the overall population is considered to be stable.

The major threat to this species is cattle that trample vegetation and cause water pollution.
