Allobates insperatus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Amazonian slopes of eastern Ecuador; its range, however, extends to near the Colombian border and it may occur in that country too. [2] It inhabits leaf-litter in forest. It breeds in bracts of palms on the ground and other small, ephemeral pools. Its habitat is threatened by agriculture, logging, and oil exploration. [1]

Allobates crombiei is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to the Pará state in Brazil. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss and the Belo Monte Dam.

Allobates fuscellus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in the Amazon Basin in western Brazil and northeastern Peru, and it is expected to occur in adjacent Colombia and possibly northern Bolivia.
