Allobates myersi (common name: Myers' poison frog) is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family found in Amazonian Colombia, likely also in adjacent Brazil and northeastern Peru.[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests. It is terrestrial and diurnal, and lays its eggs in the leaf-litter. In the southern part of its range, it is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
