[3][5][6] The specific name latidisca refers to the comparatively wide finger discs of this frog.

The dorsal surfaces, apart from the dorsolateral stripes, are scattered with small, irregular, black blotches.

The gular region is blackish and covered with small, light spots.

[6] Zug (2022) classifies Kaloula latidisca as a terrestrial frog inhabiting both primary and secondary forests.

[1][2] Although Kaloula latidisca is probably tolerant to habitat disturbance, large-scale logging is a potential threat to this species.
