Andinobates fulguritus
species group
Figs. 3–5
(n–v), 6 (a–d), 8
Tables 2–4
An assemblage of three species:
Andinobates altobueyensis
(Silverstone 1975)
comb. nov.
,
A. fulguritus
(Silverstone 1975)
comb. nov.
and
A. viridis
(
Myers & Daly 1976
)
comb. nov.
Definition and diagnosis.
SVL
14–17 mm
; body uniform yellow to dark green dorsally;
A. fulguritus
with black dorsolateral stripes and black oblique lateral stripes;
A. altobueyensis
lacking dorsal stripes but with fine black irregular spots on dorsum;
A. viridis
green with no black markings on dorsum; venter spotted or marbled in gray. Limbs identical to dorsal pattern and color. Vocalization data only available for
A. fulguritus
(
Fig. 8
, Table 5). Call consisting of short buzzes, notes 0.19–0.34 sec in length, repeated at 11–16 notes per minute. Call of
A. viridis
sounds similar to that of
A. fulguritus
, although recordings are lacking (D. Mejía-
Vargas
unpub. data, Table 5).
