This West African frog is found on the Nimba Range of Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Liberia, and on the Loma Mountains of Sierra Leone.

Specimens 19–20 mm (0.75–0.79 in) in length have hind legs and are thus approaching metamorphosis.

[1] On Mount Nimba, these frogs were found in shallow puddles in March–October.

[4] Because there is little recent information about this species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as "Data Deficient".

It occurs in the Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve,[1] but is absent from Comoé National Park.
