Ischnocnema holti

Adult males measure 14–32 mm (0.55–1.26 in) and females 18–31 mm (0.71–1.22 in) in snout–vent length. The habitus is robust. The head is wider than long. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is distinct. The dorsum is smooth to granular, with small granulations on the sides. Discs on fingers and toes are well-developed. The dorsal coloration is variable: uniformly dark brown or gray, exhibiting green or irregularly distributed red spots, sometimes with two dark longitudinal bands running from the eyes to the posterior region, or light green with brown spots.[3]

Ischnocnema holti inhabits forests, ravines, and high-altitude grasslands. Its altitudinal range in Itatiaia is 2,000–2,400 m (6,600–7,900 ft) above sea level, although a male was heard calling at 1670 m in Garganta do Registro. In Serra dos Órgãos it occurs above 1,200 m (3,900 ft).[4] Males call from vegetation up to 4 m above the ground.[3]

The species is present in the Itatiaia National Park, where its type locality lies,[1][3] as well as in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park.[4] It is abundant in both locations.[3][4]
