It has a green back speckled with black, a cream-coloured belly and a dark stripe running from the shoulder.

It is endemic to a very small area of the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia where it is known from five stream systems.

This species was formerly known from five streams at elevations of 800–1120 m draining east in the Northern Tablelands of NSW from Gibraltar Range in the north to Armidale in the south.

This species is associated with flowing, rocky creeks in highland areas of northern New South Wales.

Males are likely to call during spring and summer from vegetation and rocks bordering streams and creeks.
