starts withFranz Werner described Atelopus subornatus based on three specimens (syntypes), for which the total body length was 30 mm (1.2 in). The body is relatively slim. The head is as wide as long. The fingers have only some basal webbing whereas the toes are heavily webbed. The dorsum is dark red-brown, turning to yellowish or greenish on the sides.
Atelopus subornatus breeds in streams. The egg masses are string-like, with individual embryos measuring 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) and enclosed in a jelly capsule. Some jelly capsules are empty. The egg strings are not adherent but sink to the stream bottom and get caught by obstructions. The tadpoles are boldly marked with cream and black.
