Habits: Along streams in rainforest. Can be found on the ground, but males call during the day from bushes and trees 0.5-3 m above the ground. A clutch of 12 eggs was found on a leaf overhanging a stream, guarded by the male at night (Glaw and Vences 2007).

Calls: A series of 6-15 short and rather melodious notes (Glaw and Vences 2007).
