The splash-back poison frog (Ranitomeya variabilis), also referred to as the variable poison frog or Zimmermann's poison frog, is a small species of poison dart frog known from the upper Huallaga River drainage of San Martín Region, Peru.[1][4] It is semi-arboreal, living in the forest understory and canopy.[4] Like other poison frogs, it contains alkaloid poisons. The mimic poison frog is a Müllerian mimic of this species.[4]
The species was formerly considered to be synonym of Ranitomeya ventrimaculata.[2]
