Epipedobates
''Epipedobates'' is a genus of poison dart frogs native to northern South America (Colombia and Ecuador) west of the Andes, including the western slopes. Common name phantasmal poison frogs has been suggested for the genus. Taxonomy ''Epipedobates'' was erected in 1987 in an attempt to split dendrobatids into monophyletic genera, accommodating species that had until then been placed in ''Phyllobates''. In the major revision of poison dart frogs in 2006, most of the species formerly placed in ''Epipedobates'' were then transferred to ''Ameerega'', leaving behind just five species. With description of new species, the species count had increased to seven by early 2015. Description Dorsal Dorsal (from Latin ''dorsum'' ‘back’) may refer to: * Dorsal (anatomy), an anatomical term of location referring to the back or upper side of an organism or parts of an organism * Dorsal, positioned on top of an aircraft's fuselage * Dorsal c ... colouration is cryptic, brown.

Epipedobates Machalilla
''Epipedobates machalilla'' is a slender species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. Endemic to West Ecuador, it lives in dry and low forests and was first described by in 1995. The IUCN have classed it as "least concern". Description ''Epipedobates machalilla'' has a snout–vent length of for males and for females. Their heads are longer than they are wide, and the tympanum is small. The forelimbs have a moderate length and the fingers are unwebbed. The toes do not have lateral fringes and the terminal discs are expanded. It is dark-coffee in colour with a gold iris and cream ventral surfaces. Biology The mating system of the ''Epipedobates machalilla'' includes cephalic amplexus. The female will produce around 15 eggs which are left on the ground or under leaves. The female will then leave, and the male will protect the development of the embryos and carry the larvae. When the tadpoles hatch (around 20 days after fertilization occurs), the male will take the tadpoles to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Epipedobates narinensis'' is a species of poison dart frog (family Dendrobatidae). It was first described as a distinct species in 2008. After a major reclassification of poison dart frogs in 2006, Epipedobates had only 5 species remaining in the genus. ''E. narinensis'' is one of two species since discovered and described in Epipedobates, the other being ''Epipedobates darwinwallacei.''

Poison Dart Frogs
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 ...
