A small ranid frog species endemic to Southeast Asian regions, specifically found in countries like Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, characterized by its cryptic coloration and terrestrial habitat preferences.
Humid tropical and subtropical forest floors, preferring dense leaf litter in low-elevation rainforests between 200-1,000 meters above sea level, with high humidity and moderate temperatures.
Plays a critical role in forest ecosystem dynamics as both predator and prey, controlling insect populations and serving as a food source for larger vertebrates like snakes and birds.
