Ranitomeya
''Ranitomeya'' is a genus of dart poison frogs found in Panama and South America south to Peru and Brazil, possibly into Bolivia.
==Taxonomy==
In 2006 Grant ''et al.'' revised the systematics of dart poison frogs and placed many species formerly classified in the genus ''Dendrobates'', ''Minyobates'' and ''Phyllobates'' in ''Ranitomeya''.〔Grant, T., D. R. Frost, J. P. Caldwell, R. Gagliardo, C. F. B. Haddad, P. J. R. Kok, D. B. Means, B. P. Noonan, W. E. Schargel, and W. C. Wheeler (2006). "Phylogenetic systematics of dart-poison frogs and their relatives (Amphibia: Athesphatanura: Dendrobatidae)." ''Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History'' 299: 1-262〕 In 2011 Brown et al. following other scientists, who assumed the existence of two distinct clades in ''Ranitomeya'', erected the genus ''Andinobates'' for 12 species of ''Ranitomeya''.〔Brown, J.L., et al. (2011). A taxonomic revision of the Neotropical frog genus ''Ranitomeya'' (Amphibia: Dendrobatidae). ''Zootaxa'' 3083: 1-120〕
''Ranitomeya'' and ''Andinobates'' frogs can be distinguished from those in genera such as ''Dendrobates'' in that they are generally smaller, have more than two colors, and seem to glitter if viewed from certain angles. ''Ranitomeya'' is widespread in the Amazon basin, whereas ''Andinobates'' species are found only in the northern Andes down to Central America.
