[Phyllobates azureus]

Without a doubt, O. pumilio is one of the smallest anurans that there is. However, i have heard various references claiming that it is the smallest dendrobatid, the second-smallest, third-smallest, fourth-smallest, etc. How big is pumilio relative to other dendrobatids? I'd like to know.

I dont have the mm lengths, I am sure others do....

but they range greatly from the really big Black Jeans and Bri Bri to the tiny popa/loma/nancy's/ escudo....which are all barely Reticulatus sized

None are the smallest PDF's though

14 to 24 mm depending on locales, like Shawn said the BriBri and Black Jeans are at the higher end of the spectrum.

Wow that is quite a size range. From size to colors pumilio are diverse!
