''[[Phyllobates]]''
Dendrobatinae are generally small frogs; ''[[Andinobates minutus]]'' is as small as {{convert|13|-|16|mm|abbr=on}} in [[snout–vent length]]. Many species are brightly colored and all are toxic.

All species are presumed to show [[Parental investment|parental care]], often by the male.

Dendrobatinae is the main subfamily of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae, the poison dart frogs of Central and South America, found from Nicaragua to the Amazon basin in Brazil.[1]

Description[edit]

Dendrobatinae are generally small frogs; Andinobates minutus is as small as 13–16 mm (0.51–0.63 in) in snout–vent length. Many species are brightly colored and all are toxic. Alkaloids in Phyllobates are particularly potent.[2][3]

All species are presumed to show parental care, often by the male. However, some species show biparental care (Ranitomeya), whereas in Oophaga only females care for the tadpoles, feeding them with eggs, their only source of nutrition.[2] The males are responsible for protecting the eggs from predation and keeping the eggs from drying out by urinating on them.[4]

General[edit]

There are eight[1][2] or seven[3] genera in this subfamily:

Ranitomeya Bauer, 1986

The most specious genera are Ranitomeya (16 species) and Andinobates (13 species).[1] Dendrobates used to be much larger but currently contains only five species, having had most of its species split off into genera erected later.[6]
