Ranitomeya benedicta, sometimes called the blessed poison frog,[1] is a species of poison dart frogs found in the lowland rainforest of the Pampas del Sacramento in southern Loreto and eastern San Martín Region, northeastern Peru.[1][3] Before 2008, the species was considered a subspecies of Ranitomeya fantastica.[2] The IUCN considers the species vulnerable because of limited habitat range, habitat loss, and collection for the pet trade.[1][4]
