Ameerega

Ameerega is a genus of poison dart frogs in the subfamily Colostethinae. The genus consists of 31 species, all of which were originally placed in the Epipedobates genus. Ameerega species are typically larger than members of Epipedobates; with A. trivittata and A. silverstonei being among the largest dendrobatids. Unusually for dendrobatids, most Ameerega species possess rough, granular skin, and irises that are distinct from the pupil and colored silver or bronze.

All Ameerega species are toxic; however, several do not possess aposematic coloration. The majority of Ameerega species are endemic to Peru, but several range into neighboring counties including Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Brazil; A. trivittata is widely distributed across much of northern South America.
