[2][3] The adult salamander is large, measuring 5.8 cm in snout-vent length.

Its tail is longer than its body, and its snout is round and more pronounced in the adult male.

[1][2] This salamander breeds through direct development with no free-swimming larval stage.

What threat it faces comes from habitat loss in favor of livestock cultivation and agriculture, including illegal crops.

[1] The frog's range includes several protected parks: Reserva Natural Privada Riomanso, Serrania de los Yariguies Integrated Management Regional District, Ranita Dorada ProAves Reserve, and Parque Nacional Natural Selva Florencia.
