Description

Dendropsophus riveroi is a small species: males measure 19–20 mm (0.75–0.79 in) and females 22–23 mm (0.87–0.91 in) in snout–vent length. Coloration varies by the time of the day: the dorsal color is light yellow at night, with bronze marking. During the day, coloration varies between bronze and cream with brown markings and ill-defined brown stripes on the canthals and above the tympanums. The skin is smooth dorsally and granular ventrally. The fingers are one-fourth webbed and the toes two-thirds webbed. [5]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitats are secondary and primary tropical rainforests where it occurs on arboreally. They congregate for breeding in temporary ponds and swampy areas. [1] [5] Dendropsophus riveroi is not a common species, but there are no significant threats to this widespread species. [1]
