Diasporus citrinobapheus, or yellow dyer rainfrog, [3] is a species of frogs native to the Cordillera de Talamanca of western Panama. [2] It was first described in 2012. [4]

The specific name citrinobapheus is derived from the Greek citrinos (citrin-yellow) and bapheus (dyer) referring to the yellow body color that dyes one's fingers yellowish when the frog is handled. [2]
