The type locality is narrow (to about 2-3m wide), relatively shallow (to about 0.5m) stream with gradual gradients flowing through second growth forest, about one kilometre upstream from the sea. Type specimens were collected over sand and gravel bottoms with substantial leaf litter and dead tree branches. Maximum length of female is 7.3 cm SL (Ref. 79630). Allen, G.R., P.J. Unmack and R.K.
