The fourth finger of its front foot is tapering and not spatulate, and its hind legs are longer.

[2][3] The Corsican painted frog is found only on the island of Corsica.

It mainly occurs in the central region at altitudes of 300 to 1,900 metres (980 to 6,230 ft), especially in mountain torrents and both still and flowing water in woods and forests.

[2][3] Like other members of its family, the Corsican painted frog eats small invertebrates.

Consequently, its reproductive habits are uncertain but it is believed to lay its eggs in small groups or singly on the bottom of watercourses.
