However, in 2017 Alain Dubois [fr] showed that Hypsiboas was a junior synonym of Boana, the latter then being the valid name.

The limbs bear pale brown transversal bars dorsally.

Scattered minute white and black dots, or large dark brown blotches, might be present on the dorsum.

During the rainy season, adults can be seen perched on stems and small branches above slow-moving streams.

Habitat loss associated with forest conversion, logging, clear cutting, and fire is a threat to this species.
