Aromobates haydeeae
species of amphibian
Aromobates haydeeae (common name: El Vivero rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Mérida and Táchira states in western Venezuela.
Habitat
Its natural habitats are clear, fast-flowing streams in Andean cloud forest and the puddles alongside the streams. They may sometimes hide inside introduced Pennisetum clandestinum grasses. Scientists saw the frog between 1,825 and 2,670 metres (5,990 and 8,760 ft) above sea level.
Scientists believe this frog may live in Parque Nacional Los Páramos.
Reproduction
The male protects the eggs that are laid on land. After hatching, the male carries the tadpoles on his back to water where they develop further.
Threats
The IUCN classifies this frog as critically endangered. Much of its habitat has been fragmented or changed to farmland and areas for rearing livestock.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Aromobates haydeeae” is species of amphibian. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Aromobates, haydeeae and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of amphibian” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4684834. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
