Atelopus

***Atelopus***, commonly known as **harlequin frogs**, is a large genus of true toads.  They live in Central and South America.  They go as far north as Costa Rica and as far south as Bolivia. _Atelopus_ are small, generally brightly colored and diurnal. Most species live near mid- to high-elevation streams. Many species are now considered endangered, while others already are extinct. The cause of these declines mostly appears to be the chytrid fungus _Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis_.

New _Atelopus_ species are discovered with some regularity. Many new species have been described in the last ten years.
