Andinobates geminisae is a species of poison-dart frog.

The Geminis' dart frog is a species of poison dart frog distinguished by its uniquely small size and memorable mating call. Due to the recent and remote nature of its discovery, there is much about the adaptive behaviors and demography of the Geminis' dart frog yet to be studied.[1]

Anatomy and morphology

This small frog is 11 to 13 mm long and is a chrome orange in colour.[1] The feet do not have any webbing and females are slightly larger than the males.

Distribution and habitat

The habitat of A. geminisae is lush rainforest. This animal is endemic to West Central Panama and relatives within the Dendrobatid (poison dart frog) family are similarly found across Panama as well as the Colombian Andes.[2]

The call of this amphibian is buzz-like. Cupped leaves full of water are used as areas to lay their eggs.[3]

Taxonomy

Conservation status and current threats

Limited range, illegitimate pet trading, and loss of natural habitat are the most pertinent threats to the survival of this species. [1][3]
