Aromobates meridensis measure 29–33 mm (1.1–1.3 in) in snout–vent length and have basal toe webbing.[3] The male protects the eggs that are laid on land. After hatching, the male carries the tadpoles on his back to water where they develop further.[1]
The natural habitats of Aromobates meridensis are streams in cloud forest. This species is threatened by habitat loss. Also the invasive bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus is a threat.[1]
