It is endemic to Panama where it is known from its type locality, Cerro Malí in eastern Serranía de Darién,[1][2] near the border to Colombia, where it might also occur.

The tympanum is distinct albeit partly obscured by the supratympanic fold.

The fingers are early fully webbed and bear large discs.

The living specimen had green dorsum and pinkish white ventral surfaces were.
