Description
Adult males measure 26–34 mm (1.0–1.3 in) and adult females 27–34 mm (1.1–1.3 in) in snout–vent length.
Reproduction
Kok and colleagues hypothesize that males use their shovel-shaped snouts to excavate underground nesting chambers. Reproduction takes place during the wettest part of the year—excavation of egg chambers requires wet soils. The male advertisement call is a sequence of regular notes repeated about 17–23 times per minute. The dominant frequency is about 3300–3600 Hz. Female fecundity is 3–10 eggs.[4]
Habitat and conservation
Adenomera lutzi occurs lowland and montane tropical primary forests at elevations of 430–1,500 m (1,410–4,920 ft)
This species can be locally common.[1][4] There are no known threats to it. It occurs in an area of undisturbed remote forest, and it is also known from the Kaieteur National Park.[1]
