Dyeing poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) Most species of poison dart frogs are small, sometimes less than 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in adult length, although a few grow up to 6 cm (2.4 in) in length. They weigh 1 oz. on average. [7] Most poison dart frogs are brightly colored, displaying aposematic patterns to warn potential predators. Their ...

Oophaga is a genus of poison-dart frogs containing twelve species, many of which were formerly placed in the genus Dendrobates. [1] The frogs are distributed in Central and South America, from Nicaragua south through the El Chocó to northern Ecuador (at elevations below 1,200 m (3,900 ft)).
Dendrobates is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America. It once contained numerous species, but most originally placed in this genus have been split off into other genera such as Adelphobates, Ameerega, Andinobates, Epipedobates, Excidobates, Oophaga, Phyllobates and Ranitomeya (essentially all the brightly marked poison dart frogs; i.e. excluding the duller genera in ...
Phyllobates aurotaenia is a member of the frog family Dendrobatidae, [1] [2] which are found in the tropical environments of Central and South America. First described by zoologist George Albert Boulenger in 1913, [3] P. aurotaenia is known for being the third most poisonous frog in the world [citation needed].
Its common names include mimic poison frog and poison arrow frog, [2] [3] and it is one of the best known dart frogs. [4] It was discovered in the late 1980s by Rainer Schulte who later split it up into more subspecies; describing each as a specific color morph, and sometimes having a separate behavioral pattern.
Andinobates is a genus of poison dart frogs from Ecuador, Colombia and Panama. [2] It contains species formerly classified in the genus Dendrobates and in 2006 transferred to the genus Ranitomeya . In 2011 Twomey, Brown, and their colleagues erected the genus Andinobates for a group of 12 species of Ranitomeya .
The frog is one of 29 species currently recognised within Ameerega, a genus of poison dart frogs native to South America. [4] Before the description of the species, populations of A. munduruku were considered to represent A. picta , although subsequent studies have found that these two species are not closely related.
