Atelopus onorei is a small species of bright yellow and green toad in the Bufonidae family. It is endemic to Ecuador. It has not been seen since 1990 and may now be extinct, but it is possible that overlooked populations remain.[1] The reasons for its decline are likely climate changes and the disease chytridiomycosis.[1]
