Allobates myersi (common name: Myers' poison frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae found in Amazonian Colombia, likely also in adjacent Brazil and northeastern Peru. [2] Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. It is terrestrial and diurnal, and lays its eggs in the leaf-litter. In the southern part of its range, it is threatened by habitat loss.
