Allobates tinae is a frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Brazil. ^{[2] [3] [1]}

Habitat

This diurnal, terrestrial frog is endemic to the Amazon biome, where it is found on the leaf litter in forests. ^[1]

The frog's range overlaps with known protected parks, including Floresta Nacional do Iquiri and Parque Estadual de Guajará-Mirím. ^[1]

Reproduction

Scientists infer that this frog cares for its young in the same manner as other species in Allobates: The female frog lays eggs on land. After the eggs hatch, the male frogs carry the tadpoles to water. As of 2023, this has yet to be conclusively observed. ^[1]

Threats

The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction and cites no specific threats. ^[1]
