Andinobates tolimensis
(Bernal, M.H., Luna-Mora, V.F., Gallego, O. and Quevedo, A. 2007)

Andinobates tolimensis, the Tolimense poison frog,  is a species of amphibian in the family Dendrobatidae, endemic to Colombia in the outskirts of Falan and north of the department of Tolima.[1] Previously it was included in the genus Ranitomeya, but was reclassified in Andinobates, along with 11 other species.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.[3] It is toxic to humans and when captured will excrete a milky substance.[4]

Description

Its skin is golden or coppery with yellow spots on the upper part of the front legs and sometimes from the junction of these to the lower lip; a black or brown spot goes over the yellow one.

Behavior

Calls occur in a series of short, soft buzzes (each lasting 0.84-0.99 seconds), like cricket sounds and similar to calls made by A. dorisswansonae, but softer. The call is pulsed and has a dominant frequency of 4.73-5.22 kHz as recorded in captivity.[4]

Males will carry single tadpoles on their back, demonstrating parental care.[4]

Taxonomy

It was discovered in 2006 by biologist Oscar Gallego and identified as a different species by herpetologist Juan Manuel Rengifo.[5] The description was made by a team led by experts from the University of Tolima and was published in 2007.

The species name tolimensis means 'from Tolima', which references the University where it was found.[4]
