Its vernacular English names are forest coquí, upland coquí, mountain coquí, and Puerto Rican robber frog. The species' range spans the Sierra de Luquillo mountains of northeastern Puerto Rico and the Cordillera Central, which forms the highland "backbone" of Puerto Rico and includes an eastern extension beginning at the city of Cayey. However, the species is likely extirpated from the western Cordillera Central.
