It is endemic to the valley of the Rio Larí in Limón Province, Costa Rica.

The fingers and toes have expanded disks but lack lateral fringes and webbing.

The upper surfaces of the body are light yellow with dark dots, sometimes forming blotches by aggregation.

[3] This little known species occurs in premontane rainforest[1] at elevations of 273–440 m (896–1,444 ft) above sea level.

[1][3] Males call from late evening to night from secondary vegetation along the river, such as shrubs, wildcane, ferns, and many thorny plants.
