Wikipedia Abstract

Allobates olfersioides (common name: Rio rocket frog) is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is endemic to the coastal regions of the Atlantic Forest biome of eastern Brazil. This formerly very common species has recently declined and is now absent from many historical locations, but remains common in some areas. It is threatened by habitat loss and possibly chytridiomycosis.
