aren't these now called ameerega (billingus, macero, zaparo)?

Nope, Allobates was split off from Epipedobates. They mimic A. bilinguis and A. parvulus. Check out the paper from Nature.

No worries, with all the changes in taxonomy confusion is bound to occur.

I disagree with this, at least in terms of macero- which is an Ameerega. (And quite possibly the champion of ugly generic names for beautiful frogs).

Macero is also interesting in that it is a stream breeder.
