The llanos rocket frog (Allobates ranoides) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia. [2] [3]
This diurnal, terrestrial frog lives in forests. It has been observed between 100 and 400 meters above sea level. [2] [1]
No official surveys have reported this frog in any protected areas. However, scientists suspect that it maylive in Reserva Forestal Protectora Nacional Cerro Vanguardia, Reserva Forestal Protectora Nacional Caño Vanguardia, or both. [1]
The female frog lays her eggs on the leaf litter. After the eggs hatch, the adult frog carries the tadpoles to water. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as critically endangered and estimates its current population in the wild as 0-49 mature individuals. Its principal threats are habitat loss associated with agriculture, livestock grazing, and human habitation. It experienced a precipitous population decline circa 2001, which is consistent with amphibian declines related to the fungal disease chytridiomycosis. [1]
For a time, the American bullfrog was believed to be a threat to this frog, but this seems to have been an error. The American bullfrog was never present in Allobates ranoidea's habitat. [1]
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.
Hyloxalus abditaurantius is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia.

Allobates brunneus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in the southern Amazon drainage in Brazil to Mato Grosso and Amazonas and into extreme northern Bolivia. It has been often confused with other species, including undescribed ones.
Hyloxalus cepedai is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia where it is known only from its type locality near Villavicencio in the Cordillera Oriental.
Leucostethus fraterdanieli is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Andes in Colombia. Colostethus yaguara might be its junior synonym.
Allobates goianus, also known as Goias rocket frog and Cerrado rocket frog, is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Goiás state, Brazil. It occurs at elevations between 700 and 1,700 m above sea level in the leaf litter of humid deciduous forests and deciduous gallery forests near streams or small permanent or seasonal ponds. The eggs are laid on land. The tadpoles are then carried by the parents to streams where the larval development is completed.
Allobates humilis is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to western Venezuela where it is known from the Trujillo and Táchira states. Its natural habitats are seasonal montane forest and cloud forest. This locally common frog is associated with temporary ponds. It is threatened by habitat loss; the lagoon at the type locality has already disappeared.
Hyloxalus infraguttatus, also known as the Chimbo rocket frog, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found on the Pacific slopes of the Andes in Ecuador, and, based on the Amphibian Species of the World and the Checklist of Colombian Amphibians, also in Nariño, southern Colombia. Based on the proximity of the southern limit of its known distribution to the Peruvian border, it is likely that it occurs in northern Peru too.
Allobates kingsburyi is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in Ecuador, near the Reventador volcano and in the Pastaza River trench.

Hyloxalus shuar is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and Peru and is currently known from only two locations, though formerly widespread. The common English-language names Santiago rocket frog and Shuar rocket frog have been proposed for it.
Allobates talamancae is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in northwestern Ecuador, western Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and southern Nicaragua.
Allobates trilineatus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in northern Bolivia and Peru east of the Cordillera Oriental and in western Brazil (Acre), possibly extending into Colombia. It has been confused with Allobates marchesianus.
