Description

Aromobates ornatissimus Barrio-Amorós, Rivero and Santos, 2011 *

Holotype: EBRG 5292

Type locality: Las Palmas, Municipio Carache, Estado Trujillo, Venezuela, 09°41’47’’N, 70°08’24’’W (9.6964 N–70.1400 W); elevation 2,350 m

Distribution: Region 1. Apparently endemic from type locality and surroundings.

Remarks: In the phylogenies recovered by Grant et al. (2006; as Nephelobates sp. 1321 and ULABG 4445) and Barrio-Amorós and Santos (2012) this species appears as the sister taxon of all other Aromobates.
