The behavioral repertoire of 32 species of the family Dendrobatidae is described on the basis of 62 behavioral parameters. According to decreasing similarities of homologous behavioral para meters 9 „species groups" are established: I Colostethus group, II Epipedobates pictus group, III Epipedobates tricolor group, IV Phobobates silverstonei group, V Allobates femoralis group, VI Phyllobates terribilis group, VII Dendrobates leucomelas group, VIII Dendrobates quinque vittatus group, IX Dendrobates histrionicus group. On the basis of characteristic behavioral parameters the species groups IV (silverstonei) and V (femoralis) are placed into two new genera, Phobobates nov. gen. and Allobates nov. gen .. Bio acoustic measurements and behavioral studies reveal a new species within the D. quinquevittatus complex, described as Dendrobates variabilis sp. n. The degree of similarity and divergency as weil as the direction of evolurionary differentiation inro species and species groups is shown in an etho-taxonomic diagram. Taking into account climatic condirions and geomorphological factors during the tertiary and pleistocene periods a hypothesis is established how the different species and species groups may have evolved.
