Allobates trilineatus (common name: three-striped rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in northern Bolivia and Peru east of the Cordillera Oriental and in western Brazil (Acre), possibly extending into Colombia. It has been confused with Allobates marchesianus.
The adult male frog measures 15.0-17-7 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 15.2–19.3 mm long, making this species one of the smallest in the family. The skin of the dorsum is dark brown in color. The male frog has a gray throat with spots. There are dorsolateral and dorsoventral stripes down each side of the body. The flanks are dark brown in color.
This diurnal frog is found on the leaf litter in tropical forests between 100 and 250 meters above sea level. It has been observed in areas that have been subject to selective logging but does not seem to be located exclusively near water.
This frog's known range includes many protected parks, for example Parque Nacional Manu, Bahuaja-Sonene National Park, Tambopata Reserve, and Pacaya Samiria Reserve. It is suspected in or its range also overlaps Yasuni National Park, Área de Proteção Ambiental Igarapé... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Three-striped Rocket Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Tambopata National Reserve (10 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.
