Leucostethus siapida is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Gorgona Island, in Colombia. [1] [2]

Scientists saw the frog on Gorgona Island, an island in the Pacific Ocean, 35 km southwest of mainland Colombia. [3]

This frog has a light-colored belly and orange pigmentation in the groin and axilla areas. It has white spots on the thighs. [3]

Scientists note that while the frog resembles L. argyrogaster and L. fugax , it is more closely related to L. bilsa , from Ecuador. [3]

The scientists who wrote the first formal description of the frog note that it is vulnerable to extinction per IUCN Red List criteria. [3]
