[1] It was formerly considered as a population of the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla), but was split and raised to species status in 2006.

Individuals live from sea level to more than 10,000 feet in many types of habitats, reproducing in aquatic settings.

The Baja California chorus frog can grow .75 - 2 inches long from snout to vent (1.9 - 5.1 cm).

However, in 2006, that taxonomic concept was split into three species based on mitochondrial DNA comparisons.

Because this species of chorus frog is found near Hollywood, its vocalizations have frequently been used as stock sounds for film and television.
