Rockstone poison dart frog Rockstone poison dart frog The Rockstone poison dart frog ("Dendrobates nubeculosus") is a poorly known species of dendrobatid frogs endemic to Guyana. As it is known from only one specimen, very little information is currently available on "D. nubeculosus". It has been suggested to be one of the most poorly known species in the world.

The holotype specimen measures 2.5 centimetres in length, and the species' size range is unknown. It is
