[4] This frog has been found in Peru, Colombia, French Guiana, Brazil, and Guyana.

What threat it faces comes from habitat loss associated with agriculture and cattle cultivation.

[1] An assessment of fifteen frogs in French Guiana showed that about 13 percent were infected with the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which causes chytridiomycosis.

The torso is laterally striped orange or red while the legs and arms feature a mesh of blue, grey or green on black.

There is no explicit sexual dimorphism in this frog, but females tend to be slightly bigger than males.
