Ecology: This species is known from small, steep, rocky streams
in hilly wet evergreen
forest
. Individuals were found at night on the ground
or perched on rocks, tree
roots
, and herbaceous plants
, within 7 m
of streams. Calling males have been found perched on rocks and branches of bushes above or near streams. This species is presumed to breed
by larval development.[1]
