Allobates juanii is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia where it is only known from its type locality, a botanical garden in the city of Villavicencio, on the lower slopes of the eastern side of the Cordillera Oriental. [2]

Habitat

This diurnal, terrestrial frog has been observed in small patches of forest and in gardens but not in large swaths of forest. Scientists believe it is restricted to habitats near fast-flowing streams. It has been observed between 313 and 850 meters above sea level. [2] [1]

While the frog has not been formally reported in any protected area, several parks overlap its known range: Reserva Forestal Protectora Nacional Caño Vanguardia, Reserva Forestal Protectora Nacional Cerro Vanguardia, Reserva Forestal Protectora Nacional Quebrada Honda y Caños Parrado y Buque Parque Ecologico Humedal Zuria, and Parque Ecologico Humedal Caracoli. [1]

Reproduction

The female frog deposits eggs on the leaf litter. Scientists believe the male frog provides parental care and, after the eggs hatch, carries the tadpoles to small streams. [1]

Threats

Allobates juanii is on the IUCN list of endangered species because of habitat fragmentation and loss. It also faces some threat from water pollution. [1]

It is endemic to Colombia where it was first first described in the Parque Nacional Cordillera los Picachos, Cordillera Oriental of Caquetá Department. Its natural habitat is submontane secondary forest between 200 and 1600 meters above sea level, where it has been observed on the forest floor, near streams. This species breeds in streams. The frog has not been observed in any pastures in between its patches of forest, so scientists infer that it is not tolerant to habitat disturbance.
