Allobates vanzolinius also known as Vanzolini's rocket frog, is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to the Amazonas state, Brazil.[1][2][3][4]
Etymology
The specific name vanzolinius honors Paulo Vanzolini, a Brazilian herpetologist and composer.[5]

The frog's known range overlaps many protected parks. It has been formally reported within Reserva Extrativista do Baixo Juruá.[1]
Reproduction
The female frog lays eggs on land. After the eggs hatch, the adults carry the tadpoles to water for further development.[1]
