Description

Oreobates sanderi are medium-sized among the Oreobates; adults measure 28–38 mm (1.1–1.5 in) in snout–vent length. The head is large and as wide as long; the snout is short. The dorsum is pale brown to dark brown with cream flecks; the skin is granular, with round keratinized granules and small (only some slightly enlarged), sparse, low, flat warts.[3]

Habitat

Its natural habitat is humid montane forest, such as cloud forest (the Yungas of La Paz Department). These frogs are found on forest litter or the ground near streams.[1]
