This frog is medium-brown in color, though some individuals have stripes down their sides and some do not.

Because scientists have seen this frog in artificially open areas, they do not think its numbers will decline as deforestation continues.

[3][2] The male frog chooses a site near a pond, lake, or other body of water.

He sits on the ground or perches on low vegetation and sings for the female.

[2][3] This frog is named after the Tsáchila indigenous people, who live nearby.
