Description
Males measure 21.2–25.0 mm (0.83–0.98 in) and females 23.0–24.8 mm (0.91–0.98 in) in snout–vent length. The pericardium is light golden. Many individuals from the Sierra de Perijá have a number of irregular black flecks on the dorsum, head, and dorsal surfaces of the limbs.[3]
Habitat and conservation
In the Sierra de Perijá, Hyalinobatrachium pallidum was abundant and reproductively active at two localities with small fast-flowing creeks surrounded by primary cloud forest and abundant stream-side vegetation. It was scarce at a third locality, a small creek in secondary forest with shaded coffee plantations.[3]
The Guacharaquita population was considered almost extirpated by
