HabitatFound in vegetated, rocky, swift flowing streams in mountainous areas between 200 and 1110 m. above sea level.
DescriptionA medium-sized species females are 61 mm and males are 50 mm in length). The back of the frog varies in colour between pale brown, bright green to olive-grey, with or without darker blotches and usually with numerous small raised 'warts'. The underbelly is pale, often with pale orange towards the rear and under the hind limbs. The toes and fingers are distinctly flattened.
Threats ToHuman activites such as road building, timber harvesting, herbicide use, instream structures and innapropriate fire regimes and possibly grazing. The small size and isolation of most populations exposes all to the risk of one-off events. |
