Ranitomeya amazonica is a poison dart frog in the family Dendrobatidae and the genus Ranitomeya. It was first described by Rainer Schulte in 1999 as Dendrobates amazonicus, separated from a related species mainly on the basis of its call, and later studies including genetic data have supported it as a distinct species. It is found in northeastern Peru within the Amazon Basin, at elevations between 0 and 200 meters, where it lives as a diurnal species in primary and older secondary forest. The IUCN assesses it as Least Concern. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
