Description

Oreobates choristolemma are robust frogs with adults measuring 27–46 mm (1.1–1.8 in) in snout–vent length. The head is large and wider than long; the snout is short. The dorsum is brown with darker markings; the skin is granular, with round keratinized granules and small and large warts.[3]

Habitat

Its natural habitat is the humid Yungas forest. The altitudinal range is 1,000–1,500 m (3,300–4,900 ft) asl.[3] The frogs in the type locality were found on the ground near rocky seeps along a densely forested hillside parallel to a large river.[1]
