Aromobatidae
Previously considered to be part of the Dendrobatidae, Aromobatid frogs do not appear to be toxic.
Instead they rely on their cryptic coloration for protection. A few aromobatids however do have more colorful regions on their body.
Members of this family are diurnal and terrestrial except for Aromobates nocturnus, which is nocturnal and aquatic.
Most species within this family occur in South America, on the eastern slopes of the Andes,
throughout the Amazon region, and within the Brazilian Atlantic forest,
though some are also found in Central America.
