Description
The type series consists of two individuals. The holotype is a subadult male measuring in snout–vent length. The paratype is a juvenile measuring in snout–vent length. The head is wider than the body. The snout is subovoid in dorsal view and truncate in profile. The tympanum is distinct. The finger tips have broad discs. The toe discs are smaller than the finger ones. No lateral keels nor webbing are present. The dorsum is yellowish green with brown spots. The limbs are dorsally reddish brown with green. There is a brick red canthal stripe and an ochre supratympanic stripe. The belly is blackish brown with white spots.Distribution and habitat
Ceuthomantis aracamuni is only known from the type series collected from Cerro Aracamuni at above sea level. It is likely that this species also occurs in the adjacent Cerro Avispa, which shares its slopes with Cerro Aracamuni. Together, these give 238 km2 potential habitat area above 1,500 m, and more if the slopes are included.Cerro Aracamuni is a granitic mountain. The types were found on a moss patch on a rocky talus by a small tannic-water creek with a rocky bed. The stream ran in a dwarf gallery forest.
