Distribution of Ectopoglossus astralogaster |
Ectopoglossus astralogaster is a sparsely-researched species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is known to only be endemic to premontane forests on Cerro Brewster in the western part of Guna Yala, in Panama, at 700 to 900 meters above sea level. [2] [3] [4]
Ectopoglossus astralogaster is yellowish-brown in coloration, with darker brown markers [5] and white spots on the ventral areas. Researchers collected one adult female specimen, measuring 22 mm long in snout-vent length. [4]
Scientists named this frog using the Greek words astralos for "spotted" and gaster for "stomach." Collectively, they are "starry belly." [4]
Scientists saw the frog near streams in premontane forests between 700 and 900 meters above sea level. [2] [1]
The frog's range is near Chagres National Park, but it has yet to be observed inside it. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as data deficient. They infer that its range may include any of a few protected parks, but it has not been formally confirmed within any. [1]
Atelopus limosus, the limosa harlequin frog is an endangered species of toad in the family Bufonidae endemic to Panama. Its natural habitats are stream banks in tropical moist lowland forests and rivers of the Chagres watershed in central Panama.

It is found in the northern part of Cordillera Occidental in Antioquia, Colombia, and in Carchi Province in northwestern Ecuador. Colombian distribution may be wider. Its natural habitats are montane forests next to streams and very humid premontane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss, although it occurs in the Las Orquídeas National Natural Park, its type locality.

It is one of the best studied poison dart frogs; however, until 2004 Colostethus panamansis was considered a synonym of Colostethus inguinalis, and consequently the older literature uses that name.
Hyloxalus saltuarius is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia where it is only known from the Cordillera Oriental in the Caquetá Department. This frog is terrestrial. Its natural habitats are premontane humid forests. It lives on the forest floor. It has been observed between 1200 and 2000 meters above sea level.
