Their dorsa are uniform pale green, olive, red-brown or lichenose, with green or olive spots on a black background. Several species have pale upper labial and lateral stripes.

Description
Ecology
Duellmanohyla breed in fast-flowing mountain streams. To adapt to this habitat, the frogs have a moderate degree of webbing on the forefeet and on some digits of the hind-feet. Egg-laying has not been observed in any species in the genus, and it is thought that the females may deposit their eggs on the foliage above the water of swift-flowing mountain streams, the tadpoles then falling into the stream when they hatch. The tadpoles have dangling oral discs by which they can attach themselves to the substrate.{{cite book|author=Savage, Jay M.|title=The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica: A Herpetofauna Between Two Continents, Between Two Seas|url=https://archive.org/details/amphibiansreptil0000sava |url-access=registration|year=2002 |publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=978-0-226-73537-5 |page=[https://archive.org/details/amphibiansreptil0000sava/page/297 297]}}
