Ameerega trivittata, [2] formerly Epipedobates trivittatus, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae commonly known as the three-striped poison frog. It is found in Bolivia , Brazil , Colombia , Guyana , Peru , Suriname , Venezuela , possibly Ecuador , and possibly French Guiana .
A medium-sized frog for its genus, it has a snout–vent length of 24.9–27.3 mm (0.98–1.07 in) for adult males and 20.4–28.6 mm (0.80–1.13 in) for adult females. It has black uppersides, with a cream stripe from the snout to the groin, white undersides with worm-like black markings, and brown uppersides to the limbs.
The adult male frogs perch in crevices in plant roots no higher than 40 cm above the forest floor. Then they call to the female frogs. Scientists believe that the female frog lays her eggs on the ground and that, after the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water. [1] With tadpoles. Amapá, Brazil
Although typically blackish with a variable pattern of green, other colors are also possible. Blue is seen in certain locations in Panama. The green-and-black poison dart frog has the typical appearance of the members of its family; males average 0.75 in (1.9 cm) in snout–vent length, while females are slightly larger, averaging 1 in (2.5 cm) or longer.
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)).
The Mantellidae are an amphibian family of the order Anura (frogs and toads), and are endemic to the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar and Mayotte. [1] [2] At first glance, the diminutive, brightly-coloured mantellas appear visually similar to (and indeed fill similar ecological niches as) the Latin American poison dart frogs, such as Dendrobates, Oophaga and Phyllobates, among others.

This frog has been observed on dead branches and leaf litter in primary and secondary tropical lowland and montane forests. It has also been observed at the edges of forests and in degraded habitats. Scientists observed the frog between 200 and 2500 meters above sea level. Its range includes many protected areas. [2] [1]
