Blauer Baumsteiger - Blue poison dart frog - Dendrobates tinctorius

The blue poison dart frog or blue poison arrow frog or known by its native name, okopipi, (Dendrobates tinctorius "azureus") is a poison dart frog found in the forests surrounded by the Sipaliwini savanna, which is located in southern Suriname and adjacent far northern Brazil. D. tinctorius & quot; azureus & quot; is also known by its Tirio Indian name, okopipi. Its scientific name comes from its azure color. While frequently considered a valid species in the past, recent authorities treat it as a variant of D. tinctorius.

Der Blaue Baumsteiger, auch Azurblauer Baumsteiger oder Blauer Pfeilgiftfrosch genannt, wird nach neuen Untersuchungen als eine Farbvariante des Färberfrosches (Dendrobates tinctorius) angesehen und demnach nicht mehr, wie lange Zeit üblich, als eine eigene Art Dendrobates azureus Hoogmoed, 1969 behandelt.
