Description

Dendrobates tinctorius, also known by the common name dyeing dart frog, is a species of poison dart frog. It is the largest species, reaching lengths of 50 millimetres (2.0 in). This species is distributed throughout the eastern portion of the Guiana Shield, including parts of Guyana, Suriname, Brazil, and nearly all of French Guiana.

It exists in discrete patches throughout this region, being restricted to "highland" (up to 350 metres (0.22 mi)) areas. While this species can be found at sea level, these individuals have been collected at the base of nearby hills or mountains. The isolation of populations has presumably occurred as a result of the erosion of these highland areas and the seasonal inundation of the inter-patch areas.
