Colostethus inguinalis is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is endemic to northwestern and northcentral Colombia. Its common name is common rocket frog,[2] although this name can also refer to Colostethus panamansis that until 2004 was considered a junior synonym of Colostethus inguinalis.[3] Much of the older literature on Colostethus inguinalis is actually about Colostethus panamansis.[4]
Colostethus inguinalis is a diurnal species of humid lowland and montane forests, living along streams. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Adult males measure 22–27 mm (0.87–1.06 in) in snout–vent length and adult females 23–30 mm (0.91–1.18 in).[4]
