It is endemic to the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. Scientists know it from the type locality: a cloud forest 2103 meters above sea level in the Sierra Mixes in Oaxaca.[2][3]
The skin of the dorsum is brown in color with white spots. The adult male measures 31.4 cm in snout-vent length and the adult female 37.3 cm. The adult male has very muscular forelegs.[3] It is threatened by habitat loss.
