Description
editThe holotype (an adult female) measured 22.7 mm (0.89 in) in snout–vent length. The specific name atrabracus means "black trousers", in reference to the black ventral surfaces of the hind limbs in this species, having a resemblance of trousers.[2]
Habitat and conservation
editIts natural habitats are evergreen forests. One individual was found from a grassy bog above the tree line. The altitudinal range, based on just two localities, is 2,963–3,330 m (9,721–10,925 ft) asl. Threats to this little known species are unknown but might include wood extraction.[1]
