[3] Specifically, it has been recorded from the Bakossi Mountains, including the Edib Hills (its type locality) and Mount Kupe.

[1] The specific name, dintelmanni, honors Mr. Horst Dintelmann from Germany in recognition of "his support of taxonomic research and forthcoming conservation projects in Cameroon".

Phase F individuals are dorsally dark brown to black and have greenish spotting and bright red areas on upper legs, feet, and hands.

Specimens were found sitting low (<1 m above the ground) at night in grassy vegetation in areas with ferns, or further inland along the forest trails.

The species is unlikely to persist in areas where extensive forest clearance for smallholder farming is taking place.
