Adult males measure 16–19 mm (0.6–0.7 in) and adult females 22–24 mm (0.9–0.9 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is short. The tympanum is distinct and relatively large. The canthus rostralis is distinct. The fingers and toes have rounded discs and are partially webbed. Dorsal coloration is variable, but most individuals are dark brown with white snout and stripes running laterally to the inguinal region.[3]

Habitat and conservation

Dendropsophus haddadi occurs in coastal rainforest and in scrubby coastal "restinga" vegetation, as well as in gardens, farmland, and towns, at elevations below 650 m (2,130 ft). It breeds in permanent bonds and can be spotted on vegetation around these. It is a common and very adaptable species that is not facing any threats. It is present in many protected areas.[1]
