Allobates magnussoni is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1][4]
The adult male frog measures 16.09–19.59 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 17.97–20.84 mm. The skin of the dorsum is usually brown, suitably cryptic against the leaf litter. There is a mark in the shape of an hourglass on the frog's back. Most frogs also have a diffuse stripe on each side of the body. The upper surfaces of all four legs are brown too with darker brown patterns and bars. The lower surfaces can be yellow. The male frog has a gray-violet throat and chest. The male frog has a white abdomen with some yellow color near the back and sides. The female frog's belly is yellow throughout.[3][4]
Habitat
This frog lives in terra firma forests. Scientists observed the frog 132 meters above sea level.[1]
The frog has been confirmed to live in several protected places, for example Parque Nacional da Amazonia, Estação Ecológica da Terra do Meio, and Reserva Extrativista Tapajós-Arapiuns and it is suspected in Floresta Nacional do Tapajós.[1]
