Epipedobates

Epipedobates is a genus of poison dart frogs native to northern South America (Colombia and Ecuador) west of the Andes, including the western slopes. Common name phantasmal poison frogs has been suggested for the genus.
Taxonomy.
"Epipedobates" was erected in 1987 in an attempt to split dendrobatids into monophyletic genera, accommodating species that had until then been placed in "Phyllobates". In the major revision of poison dart frogs in 2006, most of the species formerly placed in "Epipedobates" were then transferred to "Ameerega", leaving behind just five species. With description of new species, the species count had increased to seven by early 2015.
Description.
Dorsal colouration is cryptic, brown. A pale oblique lateral stripe is present. Dorsal skin is smooth or with irregularly scattered granules or tubercles, most distinct and prevalent posteriorly. In adult males, third finger is swollen.
Species.
