Ameerega panguana is a species of poison dart frog that lives in Peru and was described in 2019. [2] [3] [1] [4]
Ameerega panguana is a small species of Ameerega , adult males are slightly smaller than females (the only sign of sexual dimorphism): males' size ranges from 16.9 to 19.7 mm and females' size ranges from 16.6 to 22.1 mm. [5] [6]
Ameerega panguana is found in Huánaco in Peru at elevations of 200–400 m in small streams in disturbed forested habitats, [6] especially purma forest. [1]
The frog's known range includes four protected areas: San Matías–San Carlos Protection Forest, El Sira Communal Reserve, Yánesha Communal Reservation, and a private concession called ACP Panguana. [1]
The males frog perches on leaves and calls to the female frogs. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to terrestrial pools of water. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. It suffers from habitat loss in parts of its range from fires, conversion of forest to cattle grazing area, conversion of forest to farms for subsistence agriculture, and logging. [1]

Ameerega shihuemoy, the Amarakaeri poison frog, is a species of dart frog endemic to a small region in southeastern Peru in the Manú District where it lives in the transition zone between montane rainforest and the lowland rainforest. The frog is a member of the Ameerega picta group. It was discovered at the Manú Learning Centre where it is known to occur in pieces of selectively logged forest. This species is threatened by habitat loss due to agriculture, gold mining, oil extraction, road construction, and logging. Currently the frog is only known from nine locations globally; three sites in the Manú Biosphere Reserve, and six in Amarakaeri Communal Reserve.
