Ranitomeya ventrimaculata
R.ventrimaculata is a common frog in the lowlands of the Amazon side of the Andes in Ecuador.
For a long time it was almost the only known Ranitomeya species in this part of the country.
In recent years, discoveries were made and descriptions given of other small Ranitomeya species that are closely related.
Which is a good reason to pass some of these animals in review.
