Scientists named this frog for the Greek words astralos for "spotted" and gaster for "stomach." Together, they mean "starry belly."[4]

Scientists have not seen the frog inside Chagres National Park, but they think it may live there.[1]

Danger

Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. They think it probably lives inside protected parks, but they are not sure.[1]
