The adult male frog measures about 30.4–34.4 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is bright green in color with very small dark brown spots. There is a yellow and brown pattern on its sides with some violet patches. This frog can change color, from bright green during the day to green-brown at night. Scientists consider this camouflage, making the frog harder to see during the day while it is resting.[3]

The male frogs perches on plants hanging over a stream and sing for the female frogs. Like other frogs in Phasmahyla, this frog does not lay eggs in the water. Rather, the female frog folds a leaf into a pocket-shaped nest and deposits her eggs inside it. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water below.[3]

Scientists named this frog after Lis Alves Pereira de Oliveira da Rocha and Bella Alves Pereira Custódio da Rocha.[3]
