This frog measures 17.18–19.95 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is brown in color. This frog has a dark brown throat. The iris of the eye is bronze in color. Some individual frogs are lighter in color. These have a triangular intraorbital mark. [4]
Scientists named this frog ajurauna from the indigenous Tupi language's ajura for "throat" and una for "black." [4]
This frog lives in Atlantic forest biomes. It has also been seen in forest fragments and next to eucalyptus tree farms. Scientists have seen this frog between 0 and 700 m (0 and 2,297 ft) meters above sea level. [1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, including Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar and Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho. [1]
The male frog perches on the ground or leaf litter and calls to the female frogs. This frog deposits its eggs in holes underground, where the tadpoles develop. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of dying out. In some places, people build towns where the frog lives. [1]
