Distribution of Ectopoglossus astralogaster

Ectopoglossus astralogaster is a sparsely-researched species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is known to only be endemic to premontane forests on Cerro Brewster in the western part of Guna Yala, in Panama, at 700 to 900 meters above sea level.[2][3][4]

Ectopoglossus astralogaster is yellowish-brown in coloration, with darker brown markers[5] and white spots on the ventral areas. Researchers collected one adult female specimen, measuring 22 mm long in snout-vent length.[4]

Etymology

Scientists named this frog using the Greek words astralos for "spotted" and gaster for "stomach." Collectively, they are "starry belly."[4]
