The genus andinobates belongs to the poison dart frog in South America, which are often referred to as poison dart frogs. In 2011 by Twomey, Brown et al. established genus originally comprised 12 species from the genus Ranitomeya , which differed from the other species of this genus by common morphological characteristics and their geographical distribution.
features
Molecular genetic studies corroborated the hypothesis that this is a separate monophyletic group. A special anatomical feature of the Andinobates species are two fused vertebrae. The net-like drawing on the legs of most species of the genus Ranitomeya is completely absent in Andinobates . In contrast, most of the species have a longitudinal stripe characteristic of Ranitomeya . Only Andinobates geminisae has a uniform orange color and Andinobates victimatus has a uniform scarlet red back with darker to black spots on the ventral side.
Most species have an average head-to-trunk length of less than 2 centimeters.
Distribution area
The distribution area of Andinobates extends from the slopes of the Andes in northern Ecuador and Colombia over the Departamento del Chocó to Central America ( Panama ). The genus Ranitomeya , however, can only be found in the Amazon basin.
Systematics and taxonomy
The type species of the genus Andinobates is Andinobates bombetes ( synonym : Dendrobates bombetes Myers & Daly, 1980).

described.
- Andinobates victimatus was described from Colombia in 2017.
