Hyloxalus abditaurantius is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia. [2] [3] [1]
This terrestrial frog has been observed on the grounds and on vegetation near water in sub-montane forest habitats in the Andes. It has been observed in secondary forest, which has led scientists to believe that it may tolerate some habitat disturbance. This frog has been observed between 1280 and 2110 meters above sea level. [1]
The frog's range includes at least four protected parks: Parque Regional Ucumari, Parque Regional Barbas-Bremen, Parque Nacional Tatamá, and Parque Nacional Farrallones de Cali. [1]
The female frog lays eggs on leaf litter. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as critically endangered. It suffers from habitat loss associated with agriculture, logging, and livestock cultivation, and from pollution. Considerable mortality may be attributable to the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, but scientists are not sure. The fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has been confirmed in frogs of this species since 1997. [1]
Leucostethus alacris or the Finca Primavera rocket frog is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia.
Hyloxalus alessandroi is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Peru where it is known from the Cusco and Puno Regions.
Hyloxalus anthracinus is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and occurs on the Cordillera Oriental and in the Mazán River, southern Ecuador.
Hyloxalus breviquartus is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. 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.
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.
Hyloxalus cevallosi, also known as Palanda rocket frog, is a species of poison dart frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is named after Gabriel Cevallos García, a famous Ecuadorean writer. This species of frog occurs on the east side of the Andes in Ecuador in the Pastaza Province. Its natural habitats are very humid premontane and pluvial premontane forests.
Hyloxalus faciopunctulatus is a species of frog belonging to the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia and is specifically found in its type locality, Puerto Nariño, located in the Amazonas Department near the Peruvian border. It is likely to be found in Peru and Brazil.

Hyloxalus fuliginosus or the Quijos rocket frog is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador where it is known from the Amazonian slopes of the Andes in the northern Ecuador, with some sources reporting it from Colombia and Venezuela.
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.
Hyloxalus lehmanni is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found widely in Colombia from Antioquia southwards along the Cordillera Occidental and Cordillera Central to northern Ecuador.
Hyloxalus peculiaris is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Ecuador where it is only known from its type locality, "Pailas" in the Morona-Santiago Province, on the eastern slope of the Andes.
Hyloxalus picachos is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia where it was first first described in the Parque Nacional Cordillera los Picachos, Cordillera Oriental of Caquetá Department. Its natural habitat is submontane secondary forest between 200 and 1600 meters above sea level, where it has been observed on the forest floor, near streams. This species breeds in streams. The frog has not been observed in any pastures in between its patches of forest, so scientists infer that it is not tolerant to habitat disturbance.
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.
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.
