Leucostethus fraterdanieli (common name: Santa Rita rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Andes in Colombia (western slopes of the Cordillera Central and both slopes of the Cordillera Occidental).[2][3] Colostethus yaguara might be its junior synonym.[4] It lives on the ground close to streams in cloud forests and in dry tropical forests. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture and logging.[1]
