Range extension of the critically endambersngered true poison-dart frog, <em>Phyllobates terribilis</em> (Anura: Dendrobatidae), in western Colombia

Range extension of the critically endambersngered true poison-dart frog, <em>Phyllobates terribilis</em> (Anura: Dendrobatidae), in western Colombia

The poison-dart frog Phyllobates terribilis is currently classified as endangered or critically endangered due to its extremely restricted geographic distribution and intensive smuggling by pet traffickers. Based on molecular data, we here report two new localities representing a 60 km northward ext...

description The poison-dart frog Phyllobates terribilis is currently classified as endangered or critically endangered due to its extremely restricted geographic distribution and intensive smuggling by pet traffickers. Based on molecular data, we here report two new localities representing a 60 km northward extension of its previously recognized range. The identity of other Phyllobates populations in western Colombia is discussed, as well as the current morphological criteria used to distinguish P. terribilis and the similar P. bicolor.
