Allobates peruvianus is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is found in Peru where it occurs on the lower Amazonian slopes of the Andes; its range possibly extends into adjacent Bolivia and Ecuador.[2][3][1]
Habitat
Its natural habitats are lowland and premontane forests. It has been observed between 400 and 1500 meters above sea level.[2][1]

Threats
