Diasporus citrinobapheus, or yellow dyer rainfrog,[3] is a species of frogs native to the Cordillera de Talamanca of western Panama.[2] It was first described in 2012.[4]
The specific name citrinobapheus is derived from the Greek citrinos (citrin-yellow) and bapheus (dyer) referring to the yellow body color that dyes one's fingers yellowish when the frog is handled.[2]
