Allobates zaparo (Silverstone, 1976)
|
The sanguine poison frog or Zaparo's poison frog (Allobates zaparo; in Spanish rana venenosa) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is native to Ecuador and Peru, where it lives in tropical rainforest habitat.[1]
The frog lays its eggs in forest leaf litter, then carries the young to water.[2]
This species was treated in genus Epipedobates until phylogenetic analysis justified its transfer to Allobates.[3]
