'''''Andinobates''''' is a genus of poison dart frogs from Ecuador, Colombia and Panama.<ref name=Frost/> It contains species formerly classified in the genus ''Dendrobates'' and in 2006 transferred to the genus ''Ranitomeya''. In 2011 Twomey, Brown, and their colleagues erected the genus ''Andinobates'' for a group of 12 species of ''Ranitomeya''. ''Andinobates'' frogs can be distinguished from their sister taxon ''Ranitomeya'' anatomically in that their 2nd and 3rd vertebrae are fused. They show no limb reticulation, which is present in most species of ''Ranitomeya''.<ref name="Brown, Twomey, et al. 2011"/>
==Distribution== ''Andinobates'' inhabits the rainforests of Ecuador, Colombia, and Panama,<ref name=Frost/> whereas ''Ranitomeya'' is only found in the Amazonian basin.<ref name="Brown, Twomey, et al. 2011"/>
== Species == ''Andinobates'' primarily contained 12 species formerly classified in the genus ''Ranitomeya''. In 2013 ''Andinobates cassidyhornae'', another species from the Andes of Colombia has been described.<ref name="Amezquita 2013">Amézquita, A., et al. (2013).
