Ranitomeya
Ranitomeya is a genus of dart poison frogs found in Panama and South America south to Peru and Brazil, possibly into Bolivia. Taxonomy. In 2006 Grant "et al." revised the systematics of poison dart frogs and placed many species formerly classified in the genera "Dendrobates", "Minyobates" and "Phyllobates" in "Ranitomeya". In 2011 Brown and colleagues, following other scientists who assumed the existence of two distinct clades in "Ranitomeya", erected the genus "Andinobates" for 12 species of "Ranitomeya". "Ranitomeya" and "Andinobates" frogs can be distinguished from those in genera such as "Dendrobates" in that they are generally smaller, have more  than two colors, and seem to glitter if viewed from certain angles. "Ranitomeya" is widespread in the Amazon basin, whereas "Andinobates" species are found only in the northern Andes down to Central America. Description. Adults measure no more than in snout–vent length and are typically brightly colored, often with bright yellow, red, or green dorsum that can be uniform in color or with stripes or dots. Also the throat has distinctive color, usually yellow, orange or red. Dorsal skin is smooth or weakly granular. The head is narrower than the body. Fingers and toes bear discs, with those on  the fingers being large. Threats. Many "Ranitomeya" species are threatened by habitat loss and collection for the pet trade. Species. There are 16 "Ranitomeya" species: "Dendrobates rubrocephalus" is placed here "Incertae Sedis".
