The head is as wide as long. The fingers have only some basal webbing whereas the toes are heavily webbed. The dorsum is dark red-brown, turning to yellowish or greenish on the sides.[3]

Atelopus subornatus breeds in streams. The egg masses are string-like, with individual embryos measuring Script error: No such module "convert". and enclosed in a jelly capsule. Some jelly capsules are empty. The egg strings are not adherent but sink to the stream bottom and get caught by obstructions. The tadpoles are boldly marked with cream and black.[4]
Habitat and conservation
Atelopus subornatus inhabits both pristine and disturbed cloud forests[5][2] as well as sub-páramos at elevations of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.[2] Breeding takes place in streams. It is threatened by chytridiomycosis as well as habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion and water pollution from pig farms.[5]
