In Colombia it is present in the Parque Nacional Natural Los Katios, Department of Chocó. It is a lowland species that occurs up to 800m asl (Panama).

It apparently does not occur in degraded habitats. The eggs are deposited in leaf-litter, and the adults carry the tadpoles to streams.
Population It is an abundant species.
Population Trend decreasing
Major Threats The major threats are deforestation for agricultural development, illegal crops, logging, and human settlement, and pollution resulting from the spraying of illegal crops.
Conservation Actions It occurs in a number of protected areas.
Red List Status Least Concern (LC)
Rationale Listed as Least Concern in view of its relatively wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
Taxonomic Notes This species has been removed from synonymy with Colostethus inguinalis (Grant 2004).
