Pristimantis subsigillatus is an arboreal frog found in tropical moist lowland forests, often near streams and rivers. It is usually encountered at night on medium to high bushes and in arboreal bromeliads. During the day, it shelters in bromeliad axils.While locally common, the arboreal lifestyle of this frog makes it difficult to find. It may be more easily heard than seen. The call is a single, sharp, explosive "tweet".
Pristimantis subsigillatus is potentially threatened by habitat loss and pollution.
