Definition and diagnosis. SVL 16–19 mm; black to bronze dorsum; conspicuous dorsolateral stripes absent (weak dorsolateral stripes present in A. bombetes ); head brightly spotted or uniformly yellow or red with identically colored labial stripe (except in A. abditus ); white, yellow, orange or red spots in groin (not upper surface of thigh as in Ranitomeya ) and between axilla and upper surfaces of forearms (sometimes extending to elbow); limbs uniformly dark (occasionally dorsal coloration extending to limbs, i.e., some populations of A. opisthomelas ); venter black, either uniform ( A. abditus ), with pale to bright spotting ( A. dorisswansonae , A. opisthomelas and A. tolimensis ), or marbled bluish-white ( A. bombetes , A. virolinensis ); LTRF either 2(2)/3 (known in A. bombetes and A. virolinensis ) or 2(2)/3(1) (known in A. abditus , A. opisthomelas and A. tolimensis ); larvae with medial gap in papillae on posterior labium (known only in A. abditus , A. bombetes , A. opisthomelas , A. virolinensis and A. tolimensis , Table 4); oral disc emarginated. Vocalizations of species in this group characterized as drawn-out buzz or rattle, consisting of notes 0.8–2.3 sec in length, repeated at approximately 6–17 notes per minute ( Fig. 8, Table 5)
