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 ...

Andinobates cassidyhornae, commonly known as Cassidy's poison dart frog, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae [2] found in Antioquia, Colombia at an altitude of 1800–2059 m. [3] They have been observed in areas with thick leaf litter and males have been observed calling between 10 and 14 o'clock within these areas. [ 3 ]
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 .
Oophaga sylvatica is a species that belongs to the family of Dendrobatidae, commonly called poison-dart frogs, characterized by their bright coloration and the toxic alkaloids found in their skin. Their phenotypic diversity in coloration is attributed to sexual and natural selection, not genetic drift.
