Allobates Caeruleodactylus
''Allobates'' is a genus of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. They are native to the Central and South Americas, from Nicaragua to Bolivia and Brazil, with one species on Martinique. Description and ecology Species of the genus ''Allobates'' are mostly small frogs. Dorsal colouration is cryptic, with the exception of the ''Allobates femoralis'' group that has bright colours. They are mostly terrestrial frogs found in the leaf litter of tropical rain forests. Most species deposit eggs in the leaf litter; tadpoles are transported to the water on the backs of the parents. ''Allobates nidicola'' and ''Allobates chalcopis'', however, have endotrophic tadpoles that develop into froglets in the nest, without entering water. Taxonomy There are many species recognised in the genus ''Allobates'': References External links * *"The Chirping Frog" - 2018 BBC internet article on new species found in the Pico da Neblina National Park, Brazil {{Taxonbar, from=Q135206 Allobates, ...

Allobates Hodli
''Allobates hodli'' is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Taxonomy Scientists used to think this was the same species as ''Allobates femoralis'', but now they think they are two allopatric species.
