Source-derived summary

Allobates liniaureum, the golden line nurse frog or rana nodriza de línea dorada, is a frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Peru.

Description

The adult male frog measures about 14.2–14.8 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 15.0 mm. The skin of the dorsum is brown or cream-white in color with brown spots. There is a light brown dorsolateral on each side of the body. When the frog is alive, this brown stripe has flecks of iridescent gold. The dorsal surfaces of the front legs are yellow-gold in color. The dorsal surfaces of the back legs are brown or cream-white in color with brown spots. There is a dark brown stripe on each side of the body, all the way to where the back legs meet the body. There is also a smaller, lighter stripe from where the front legs meet the body to where the back legs meet the body.

Editorial summary

“Allobates liniaureum” enters the record as species of amphibian. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Allobates, liniaureum and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current 157-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Allobates, liniaureum and species.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Allobates liniaureum” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Allobates, liniaureum and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q133500343. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
