About Hyalinobatrachium aureoguttatum (Barrera-Rodriguez & Ruiz-Carranza, 1989)
Males of Hyalinobatrachium aureoguttatum measure 20–24 mm (0.79–0.94 in) in snout–vent length, while females measure 23–24 mm (0.91–0.94 in). Their dorsal side is yellow-green, marked with numerous small brown spots and larger, more distinct creamy yellow spots. A diffuse green middorsal stripe is present, and their ventral surface is transparent. The natural habitats of this species are lowland primary and secondary rainforests, as well as sub-Andean cloud forests. It can be found on vegetation growing next to streams. It is a very common species, but is at least locally threatened by habitat loss. It is present in a number of protected areas. For reproduction, males call from vegetation located above streams. Clutch size can reach up to 35 eggs; the eggs are green and enclosed in a gelatinous mass. Eggs are laid on the lower surface of leaves. After hatching, the tadpoles fall into the stream below. Males sometimes appear to guard the eggs.
