Dotted poison frog
Its skin is bright black or dark brown with red, orange or yellow spots. It is distinguished in addition to other similar dendrobathids because it has the first and second toes fused, a characteristic that it shares only with a nearby species, Andinobates daleswansoni. Males measure between 16.2 and 17.1 mm in length and females between 17.5 and 19.4 mm.
It lives among the leaf litter, in secondary forests with good canopy and presence of bromeliads, where it deposits its tadpoles, which it cares for and carries on the back to a water source. It feeds on insects, especially ants.
