Habitat and Ecology
A terrestrial species inhabiting wet montane forest including cloud and Yungas forest. The eggs are laid in lotic waters (Köhler 2000a).
Biomes: Terrestrial, Freshwater
Habitats: (See complete standardized list of habitats)
| Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Montane |
| Wetlands (inland) - Permanent Rivers/Streams/Creeks (includes waterfalls) |

Major Threats
Major threats to this species' habitat include agriculture (mainly from smallholder farmers) and agricultural pollution. Köhler (2000a) points out that it is very common to find this species infected by parasites, with visible red pustules that, according to De la Riva (1997), are caused by the larvae of a trombidioid mite. However, it is not known whether or not the infestations have a negative effect on the species.
