[2][3] Earlier records west from Nigeria refer to other species, including Arthroleptis krokosua described in 2008.

The fingers and toes do not have webbing but there is a very prominent, flange-like inner metatarsal tubercle.

Ventral surface of throat is generally dark gray to black with white or creamy stripe along midline.

[3] Its natural habitats are lowland and montane rainforests up to elevations of 1,200 m (3,900 ft) above sea level.

It is probably threatened by habitat loss, but occurs in a number of protected areas.
