Colostethus
''Colostethus'' is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America, from Panama south to Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru. Their common name is rocket frogs, but this name may refer to frogs in other genera and families, following the taxonomic revision of the genus in 2006. Taxonomy Formerly, the genus ''Colostethus'' was found to be "rampantly nonmonophyletic" in the taxonomic revision of poison dart frogs published in 2006. Before the revision, it had 138 species, but this was reduced to 18 species, after species of the former ''Colostethus'' were distributed among eight genera in two families, that is, in Dendrobatidae and in the newly established family Aromobatidae (e..g., ''Anomaloglossus''). Within Dendrobatidae, many former ''Colostethus'' species were moved to ''Hyloxalus'', while three were moved to the new genus '' Silverstoneia''. Nevertheless, ''Colostethus'' is still considered paraphyletic because some ''Colostethus'' are more closely related ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Colostethus Inguinalis
''Colostethus inguinalis'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to northwestern and northcentral Colombia. Its vernacular name is common rocket frog, although this name can also refer to '' Colostethus panamansis'' that until 2004 was considered a junior synonym of ''Colostethus inguinalis''. Much of the older literature on ''Colostethus inguinalis'' is actually about ''Colostethus panamansis''. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The tympanum is well-defined and pale anteriorly. An oblique lateral pale line extends halfway from groin to the eye- Adult males with solid black throat, with the black pigmentation usually extending onto the chest and the anterior belly; adult females have white (unpigmented) or faintly pigmented gray or brown chest. The toes are moderately webbed. Adult males have swollen third finger. Habitat and conservation ''Colostethus inguinalis'' is a diurnal species of humid lowland forests ...

Colostethus Panamansis
''Colostethus panamansis'', also known as the Panama rocket frog or (ambiguously) common rocket frog, is a species of poison dart frog. It is found in northwestern Colombia and Panama. It is one of the best studied poison dart frogs; however, until 2004 ''Colostethus panamansis'' was considered a synonym of ''Colostethus inguinalis'', and consequently the older literature uses that name. Distribution and habitat ''Colostethus panamansis'' is found in several parts of Panama and in Parque Nacional Natural Los Katios in Colombia. It is found living near streams in forested lowland and hilly country, usually at elevations below . Biology Adult males measure in snout–vent length and adult females . The female lays her eggs in clutches among leaf litter. When they hatch, she carries them around on her back for up to nine days when she immerses herself in a fast flowing stream and they become detached and continue their development in the water.

Colostethus Agilis
''Colostethus agilis'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. Description ''Colostethus agilis'' grows to a snout-to-vent length of about with females being slightly larger than males. The head is wide and the snout short. The tympanum, situated just behind the eye, is half covered by a fold of skin. There are some white specks on the upper lip and the iris is bronze with yellow specks. The dorsal and lateral surfaces have several longitudinal rows of warts and the general colour is olive or deep brown with darker coloured blotches. The ventral surface and the underside of the thighs are pale with yellowish blotches. There are discs on the tips of the fingers of the fore feet and smaller ones on the hind feet. ''Colostethus agilis'' is one of only five species of ''Colostethus'' that have fully webbed hind feet, the others being '' Colostethus chocoensis'', '' ...

Colostethus Pratti
''Colostethus pratti'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in the northwestern Colombia ( Antioquia, Chocó, Córdoba, and Risaralda Departments) and Panama, possibly also in southeastern Costa Rica. It is sometimes known as the Pratt's rocket frog. ''Colostethus pratti'' is named after Antwerp Edgar Pratt, an explorer who collected the type series. Description ''Colostethus pratti'' is a small member of its genus; both males and females grow to about snout–vent length. It is brown above with characteristic dull paired dorsolateral stripes. Reproduction Reproduction of ''Colostethus pratti'' has been observed in captivity. Males have a loud, peeping advertisement call. They appear to establish small territories and can be aggressive against each other, engaging in "wrestling" bouts. Amplexus has not been observed but is presumably cephalic as in related species. Egg clusters contain 8-20 eggs. They are deposited on top of leaves or within plastic hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Poison Dart Frog
Poison dart frog (also known as dart-poison frog, poison frog or formerly known as poison arrow frog) is the common name of a group of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae which are native to tropical Central and South America. These species are diurnal and often have brightly colored bodies. This bright coloration is correlated with the toxicity of the species, making them aposematic. Some species of the family Dendrobatidae exhibit extremely bright coloration along with high toxicity, while others have cryptic coloration with minimal to no amount of observed toxicity. The species that have great toxicity derive this feature from their diet of ants, mites and termites. However, other species that exhibit cryptic coloration, and low to no amounts of toxicity, eat a much larger variety of prey. Many species of this family are threatened due to human infrastructure encroaching on their habitats. These amphibians are often called "dart frogs" due to the Native Americans' use of the ...
