Hyloxalus Arliensis
''Hyloxalus'' is a genus of poison dart frogs, family Dendrobatidae. The genus is distributed in Central and South America, from Panama south to Peru (along the Pacific coast), along with Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. They also inhabit the eastern foothills of the Andes in Bolivia to Venezuela, east to the upper Amazon Basin. Description ''Hyloxalus'' are small to moderate-size frogs, ranging from about in snout–vent length. Most species have cryptic, brown, gray, or black dorsal coloration, but some have conspicuous, bright colors (e.g., ''Hyloxalus azureiventris''). A pale oblique lateral stripe is always present. Toe webbing is absent in most species but is present in some species and can even be extensive. Fingers bear narrow to moderately expanded discs. Reproduction Most species deposits their eggs in terrestrial nests and transport the tadpoles to pools on the forest floor or in backwaters of streams.

Cream-backed Poison Frog
The cream-backed poison frog (''Hyloxalus subpunctatus'') is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical, high-altitude grassland, shrub-dominated wetlands, swamps, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, urban areas, and heavily degraded former forests. The cream-backed poison frog is one of the less-toxic of the family. It has undergone several name changes since its discovery. Originally called ''Dendrobates subpunctatus'', its name was changed to ''Colostethus subpuctatus'' once the family Dendrobatidae underwent a division of species and genera other than ''Dendrobates'' were coined. Recently, minor skeletal differences have separated the cream-backed poison frog from the rocket frogs, and placed it in another genus entirely, ''Hyloxalus''. Toxin Like many of the genus ''Hyloxalus'', ''H. subpunctatus'' possesses fairly weak toxins, compared to those of other dendrobatids. It may be one of the ...

Hyloxalus Awa
''Hyloxalus awa'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and known from the western Andean slopes and the western Pacific lowlands. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length. Dorsum is reddish brown with diffuse dark marks. Flanks are dark gray. Reproduction The male call is a trill of about 3–5 seconds in duration, emitted at a rate of six calls per minute. Males are territorial and aggressive towards other males. Under laboratory conditions, mating takes place in morning and clutch size is 4 to 21 eggs. Eggs are laid on leaf-litter or low vegetation; the adults carry the tadpoles on their back to nearby streams where they complete their development. Habitat and conservation Natural habitats of ''Hyloxalus awa'' are humid sub-montane tropical forest. It is threatened by habitat loss due to agriculture (both crops and livestock), logging, and agricultural pollution. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q1342908 awa Awa (or ...

Hyloxalus Exasperatus
''Hyloxalus exasperatus'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and found on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Pastaza and Morona-Santiago Provinces. However, it is suggested that specimens from Pastaza represent a different, possibly undescribed species. Description Males measure and females in snout–vent length (based on only six and two specimens, respectively). Toe webbing is absent but it has a dorsolateral stripe and a short oblique lateral stripe. It is similar to '' Hyloxalus whymperi'' but lacks heavy darkening on the abdomen of males. Male call is unknown. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are pluvial premontane and very humid premontane forests. Its altitudinal range is asl. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by agricultural expansion Agricultural expansion describes the growth of agricultural land (arable land, pastures, etc.) especially in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Hyloxalus Elachyhistus
''Hyloxalus elachyhistus'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in southern Ecuador (both versants of the Andes) and northern Peru, in the Huancabamba Depression and south to Cajabamba Province. Description ''Hyloxalus elachyhistus'' shows considerable intraspecies variability, and it might represent more than one species. Ecuadorian males measure and females in snout–vent length. Peruvian specimens are smaller: males measure and females SVL. Dorsum varies in colour between populations, from pale olive to brown. There is a pale yellow to tan oblique lateral stripe, usually narrowly bordered by dark brown or black. Males may protect the egg clutch. Both males and females may transport the tadpoles. Back-riding tadpoles vary in size, from about in total length. Largest free-swimming tadpoles are in total length. Habitat and conservation Its natural habitats are dry and humid lowland and premontane forests. It occurs near streams, especially in dry ...

Hyloxalus Edwardsi
''Hyloxalus edwardsi'' (common name: Edwards' rocket frog) is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Oriental in the Cundinamarca Department, Colombia.

Hyloxalus Chocoensis
''Hyloxalus chocoensis'', sometimes known as the Choco rocket frog, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in western Colombia to east-central Panama (where it is the only member of this genus). In Colombia it is known from Chocó, Valle del Cauca, and Antioquia.

Hyloxalus Cevallosi
''Hyloxalus cevallosi'', also known as Palanda rocket frog, is a species of poison dart frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is named after Gabriel Cevallos García, a famous Ecuadorean writer. This species of frog exists on the east side of the Andes in Ecuador near the Pastaza Province as well as the Zamora-Chinchipe Province.
