Individuals collected were captured during the night, on vegetation between 1 ­ 1.5 meters above the ground beside small streams, roads and in cracks between two rocks in the splash zone of the stream in the type­locality. Their call is a “ re­re­re­rere­rec ” or a “ re­re­re­rec ” in some occasions.
