starts withNymphargus armatus are relatively small frogs; males measure 23–25 mm (0.91–0.98 in) in snout–vent length and females 24–25 mm (0.94–0.98 in).Male Nymphargus armatus have patches of cornified nuptial spines on the thumb — hence the specific name, armatus, which means "armed". Male frogs call from tops of leaves and vegetation with "a soft exhaled whistle". Egg masses are found on the tops of leaves.
