Its natural habitats are very humid tropical forests and cloud forests where it occurs on vegetation next to streams. Its conservation status is unclear but threats to it include timber extraction, cattle raising and agricultural development.[1] It is directly threatened by the deforestation of the foothills in Paramillo National Park.[3]
Male Nymphargus chami grow to a snout–vent length of 31–35 mm (1.2–1.4 in). The dorsum is shagreen with numerous subconical tubercles.[4]
