Allobates caribe, the Caribbean nurse frog, is a frog in the family Aromobatidae. It lives in Estado Sucre, Venezuela. [2] [3] [1] [4]
Scientists know this species from the type locality, 1050 meters above sea level. They observed three female frogs in a dry streambed. This place was near but not within Península de Paria National Park, so scientists suspect the frog may live there. [1]
The tadpoles develop in streams and pools of water. [1]
The IUCN classifies this animal as critically endangered. The principal threat is habitat loss associated with fires, logging, and forest conversion to tourism infrastructure and farms for such crops as ocumo blanco, ocumo chino, cocoa, and occasionally coffee. [1]
Scientists have found the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on other amphibians in this part of the world but have yet to confirm whether chytridiomycosis has killed many A. caribe. [1]
Anomaloglossus breweri is a species of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. It is only known from its type locality, Aprada-tepui in the Bolívar state of southeastern Venezuela. This species was discovered by scientists exploring the inaccessible and remote region of Aprada-tepui. It is a fast-moving frog that lives along creeks and in quiet pools along small streams along the slopes near the cave. The frog is named for Charles Brewer-Carías who collected the type series.
Allobates is a genus of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. They are native to the Central and South Americas, from Nicaragua to Bolivia and Brazil, with one species on Martinique.
Aromobates, sometimes known as the skunk frogs, is a genus of frogs from the Andes of Venezuela and Colombia. Originally a monotypic genus consisting of the skunk frog, Aromobates nocturnus alone, it was later expanded to include Nephelobates. These frogs are difficult to differentiate from Allobates without using molecular markers.
Allobates bromelicola is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to the Venezuelan Coastal Range in the Aragua state.
Allobates conspicuus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is native to western Brazil and eastern Peru.
Allobates gasconi is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Acre and Amazonas states of Brazil and to the Yuyapichis River area in Peru.
Allobates melanolaemus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Peru where it is only known from near its type locality in the Loreto Province.
Allobates pittieri is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to northern Venezuela where it is known from the Venezuelan Coastal Range and northeastern part of the Cordillera de Mérida. Its type locality is in the Henri Pittier National Park.
Anomaloglossus triunfo is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela and is only known from the summit and slopes of Cerro Santa Rosa, on the northwestern slopes of Sierra de Lema, Bolívar state. It might be synonym of Anomaloglossus parkerae. The specific name triunfo is the name of the camp site that was used as the base for herpetological surveys by one of the scientists who described the species.
Allobates undulatus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela where it is only known from its type locality, Cerro Yutajé, in the Amazonas state. The specific name undulatus refers to the characteristic wavy-edged dorsal marking of this species.
Anomaloglossus wothuja is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela and is only known from its type locality, the base of Cerro Sipapo, in the Amazonas state. It appears to be endemic to the Cerro Cuao massif but might occur more widely in similar granitic areas.
Scarthyla vigilans is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in northern Colombia, northern Venezuela, and Trinidad. Although generic allocation of this species has been controversial, molecular data have now confirmed its close relationship with Scarthyla goinorum and placement in that genus. Indeed, adults are very similar to Scarthyla goinorum; however, the male advertisement call and tadpoles are clearly distinct.
Phytotriades is a genus of tree frogs in the family Hylidae. As currently delimited, the genus is monotypic and contains Phytotriades auratus, commonly known as the golden tree frog, bromeliad-dwelling treefrog, El Tucuche golden tree frog, or Trinidad heart-tongued frog.

Anomaloglossus is a genus of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. The genus is endemic to the Guiana Shield in northern South America. It used to be placed in the family Dendrobatidae, and is still placed in that family by some sources. The name of the genus, from the Greek anomalos and glossa (=tongue), refers to the unusual tongue bearing the median lingual process, the only unambiguous phenotypic synapomorphy of this genus.
