The confusing poison frog (Epipedobates maculatus) is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae endemic to Panama. It is only known from its type locality, " Chiriqui" (which at the time of the description included both Atlantic and Pacific versants of western Panama). [1] [2]
Its natural habitat is unknown but might be forest. It is threatened by habitat loss; it might already been extinct given the level of deforestation within the region of collection. [1]
