It may represent several species; Ameerega altamazonica has already been split off from the former Ameerega hahneli. Males measure 17–19 mm (0.67–0.75 in) and females 19–22 mm (0.75–0.87 in) in snout–vent length. The back and limbs are finely granular and brown in colour, with or without black spots.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-striped Poison Frog sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 16th most-seen of the 67 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-striped Poison Frog in Manu National Park on a given day, against about 10% in July–August and October, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-striped Poison Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Pale-striped Poison Frog sightings, Manu National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 20%) and Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve (Ecuador, about 20%).
Same genus: Ameerega
The closest relatives of the Pale-striped Poison Frog that you can see in Manu National Park (genus Ameerega) are Three-striped Poison Frog (about 30%), Manú Poison Frog (about 20%) and Río Madre de Dios Poison Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-striped Poison Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Manu National Park (38 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
