A small bush frog named after Charles Hose, part of a large genus (Philautus) of frogs that skip the free-swimming tadpole stage entirely — eggs are laid in damp leaf litter or vegetation and hatch directly into miniature froglets.
Found in low forest vegetation and leaf litter, calling from perches close to the ground at night; direct development makes it independent of standing water for breeding.
