Allobates zaparo, the sanguine poison frog or Zaparo's poison frog (in Spanish rana venenosa) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is native to Ecuador and Peru, where it lives in tropical rainforest habitat.[1]

The frog lays its eggs in forest leaf litter, then carries the young to water.[3]

This species was treated in genus Epipedobates until phylogenetic analysis justified its transfer to Allobates.[4]
