Animalia > Chordata > Amphibia > Anura > Dendrobatidae > Hyloxalus > Hyloxalus chocoensisHyloxalus chocoensis (Choco Rocket Frog)Synonyms: Colostethus chocoensis; Hylixalus chocoensis; Prostherapis chocoensis Hyloxalus chocoensis, sometimes known as the Choco rocket frog, is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is found in western Colombia to east-central Panama (where it is the only member of this genus). In Colombia it is known from Chocó, Valle del Cauca, and Antioquia. Anomaloglossus confusus from northwestern Ecuador were formerly confused with this species, but the identity of many other populations remains uncertain. Taxonomic uncertainty hampers knowledge about the species. |
