The specific name, iquitorum (genitive, plural), is in honor of the Iquitos who are an indigenous people of Peru. [2]
S. iquitorum has been observed in the areas around the Río Nanay and the Río Yavari. [3] [1] [4]
The preferred natural habitat of S. iquitorum is forest, at altitudes around 120 m (390 ft). [4]
S. iquitorum is light olive-green on the dorsum. The flanks are yellow with black spots. The rear sides of the thighs are black in color. The iris is gold to bronze. [5]
Scinax is a genus of frogs, commonly known as snouted treefrogs, in the family Hylidae. The genus is found from eastern and southern Mexico to Argentina and Uruguay, and in Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Lucia. Member species are small to moderate-sized tree frogs, drably colored. Duellman and Wiens resurrected this genus in 1992. The name originates from the Greek word skinos, meaning quick or nimble.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. "Marmoratus" in Latin means "marble," perhaps referring to the dorsal coloring pattern. It is threatened by habitat loss.
