[6] The ornate narrow-mouthed frog lives semi-buried in leaf litter on the forest floor.

It breeds in ponds and temporary pools that form in the rainy season.

[1] This frog has a wide range and the population seems to be stable so the IUCN rates it as being of "Least Concern" as it considers that the rate of decline, if any, is insufficient to justify listing it in a more threatened category.
