[2][3][1] The single specimen, an adult female, measured 24.0 mm in snout-vent length.

She had expanded climbing disks and fringed skin on the toes of all four feet.

There were light brown stripes on flanks from the nose over the eye to where the hind legs meet the body.

[3] Scientists known this frog exclusively from the type locality in Utcubamba Province in Amazonas, 2326 meters above sea level in the Cordillera Colán.

Scientists believe the fungal disease chytridiomycosis may pose a threat because it killed so many other stream-breeding, high-elevation-dwelling frogs in Peru, but they do not know for certain.
