Etymology
Habitat
This frog lives in forests where the tree branches come together like a roof. Scientists saw it on the dead leaves on the ground near streams. Scientists saw the frog between 600 and 1800 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists found the frog in two protected parks, Parque National de Itatiaia and Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro.[1]
