TYPE LOCALITY. — French Guiana, Mitaraka massif.

DISTRIBUTION. — This species is only known from the Mitaraka massif and its vicinity in Suriname.

TAXONOMIC REMARKS. — This species is distinguished morphologically and acoustically from the closely related A. baeobatrachus (Boistel & Massary, 1999) also occurring in the Mitaraka massif, and has a different larval development mode ( Vacher et al. 2017, Fouquet et al. 2019a, b).

HABITAT IN MITARAKA. — It is associated with swampy streams where it deposits its tadpoles. Males were heard conspicuously calling from the surroundings of these swampy streams throughout the study area.
