Allobates goianus, also known as Goias rocket frog and Cerrado rocket frog, is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Goiás state, Brazil.[1][2] It occurs at elevations between 700 and 1,700 m (2,300 and 5,600 ft) above sea level in the leaf litter of humid deciduous forests and deciduous gallery forests near streams or small permanent or seasonal ponds. The eggs are laid on land. The tadpoles are then carried by the parents to streams where the larval development is completed.[1]
