P
starts withPristimantis cosnipatae is a robust-bodied small frog. Adult males measure 21.8–29.5 mm (0.86–1.16 in) in snout–vent length. Head is longer than it is wide and the snout is long and narrow. The tympanum is prominent. Forearms are short and robust, and hind limbs are moderately short and robust. The fingers and the toes have lateral fringes and bear wide, truncate discs. The dorsum is finely shagreened and grayish tan to reddish brown in color, with dark brown markings. The iris is bronze and has a median horizontal red streak.
It has been suggested that before 2012 when Paedophryne amauensis was described, Pristimantis cosnipatae held the record for world's smallest frog. However, this species is not particularly small.
The male advertisement call is a soft "wraank".
