Description
Habitat
Ecology: It is found in tropical
moist evergreen
and deciduous forests
, and coffee plantations with a natural canopy
cover
. It can be found in tree
holes
between two and four metres
above ground
level (Inger et al. 1984), and in the leaf-litter substrate. It may also be found in abandoned eucalyptus plantations close to forest. It presumably breeds
by larval development, like other members
of its genus, but it is not known whether or not it requires waterbodies for breeding.
