IUCN threat status:  Endangered (EN)  Comprehensive Description
Read full entry   Diagnosis: Oophaga arborea can be
distinguished from other species of Oophaga by their spot
pattern, call, and dentition. Although a few other Oophaga
species exhibit similar spotting, O. arborea differs in the
yellow color of their spots. These frogs exhibit raised spots,
which do not occur in any other dendrobatid. The call, although
similar, differs slightly from that of other Oophaga in its
frequency, speed of note repetition, and the duration of single
notes. Lastly, O. arborea lacks maxillary teeth, differentiating
the species from its most similar looking relative, Ameerega
maculata, by (Myers et al. 1984).  Description: Adults are small
to medium sized, 20-22 mm in snout to vent length. Spots are
normally smaller than the eye and are relatively round in shape.
Spots may vary in size and arrangement, and some individuals
spots are raised rather than flat. O. arborea lack both hand
webbing and teeth. The iris of the eye
