[1] The scientific name Tlalocohyla celeste for the species was chosen because of the light blue coloration observed in the axillary membranes and male vocal sac.

[6] The sole known habitat of this species is only the type locality, an 8-hectare (20-acre) lentic wetland with an emergent benthic zone dominated by herbaceous vegetation, all of which is surrounded by a tropical rainforest located between two volcanoes in the Tapir Valley Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to the Tenorio Volcano National Park in northern Costa Rica.

However, near the water in the riparian zone, the vegetation becomes more varied and includes shrubs and trees that eventually link to the forest found at higher elevations.

[8] This species practices axillary amplexus during reproduction, and fertilized females have been observed between June and September.

[6] Donald Varela Soto, naturalist and co-owner of the Tapir Valley Nature Reserve, was the first to discover the species after noticing its peculiar sound.

Speculations arose about it being a young Boana rufitela, but Soto remained uncertain due to the absence of the characteristic yellow line.

[2] The conservation status of the Tapir Valley tree frog is currently unknown, but scientists think it is probably a critically endangered species and may be on the verge of extinction.

[1] The species resides in the Tapir Valley Nature Reserve, which was previously heavily grazed pasture land.

This indicates that the species, along with others in the wetland, including the Tapir Valley tree frog, possess significant adaptability and resistance to environmental changes.
