Extensive searching by ourselves and other interested colleagues has until recently failed to find a fantastica with the solid coloured head as depicted in its description near the vicinity of Yurimaguas. However, Evan Twomey , in July 2011 found several specimens within a few kilometers of Yurimaguas, which appear to be a perfect match of the long lost holotypic form of fantastica. The gently undulating terrain in the vicinity of Yurimaguas has been heavily deforested in recent generations as is the case near any major city in Peru, and this has led to a severely diminished range for this morph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDistribution\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFantastica is another Peruvian endemic. The known range of fantastica spans only north eastern San Martin and neighboring regions of extreme western Loreto. Predominantly a lowland species inhabiting forested regions northeast of the Cordillera Escalera towards Yurimaguas and along the Rio Paranapura. Its distribution eastward further into Loreto is likely hindered by the vast expanses of flooded forest that dominate the area and comprise much of what is Pacaya Samira. It is found throughout much of the rugged Cordillera Escallera where its distribution reaches elevations approaching 1000 m. It does not traverse the dry Tarapoto valley to the west, nor has it been found to the south of Huallaga River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eNatural History\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the forest fantastica are often extremely difficult to detect. Alert frogs, \u003cem\u003efantastica \u003c\/em\u003eare unhesitant flee into the leaf litter of the forest floor upon or even prior to detection. When they are encountered it is most often in open areas around tree falls, amidst the tangle of branches and natural debris, or in other open areas within primary forest. In our experience they are most easily encountered after brief rains, especially during drier months. Presumably the lower strata of the forest, which is typically more humid and supportive of a greater invertebrate and microfaunal abundance upon which they feed entices them to remain concentrated within in the understory, and thus the chance for encounters with them more probable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreeding occurs either terrestrially amidst the humid seclusion of leaflitter on the forest floor, or in the protective curls of bromeliad leaves or other sheltered areas provided by vegetation which result in the creation a humid cavity. In captivity film canisters, small pill jars are frequently employed deposition sites. Tadpoles are deposited in phytotelm provided bromeliads, xanthasoma and also in water filled tree holes when available. Clutch size is typically 4-6 eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we consider this species scansorial to arboreal, the “white banded” population found in the drier forests along the extreme western versant of the Cordillera Escallera near Tarapoto are much more terrestrial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fairly small range coupled with deforestation throughout raises concerns for this species in the wild. Heavy collection of specimens from the famous sites in and near the Alto Caynarachi Valley has persisted for at least two decades, and more recently collection pressure has been placed by smugglers upon the recently documented Paranapura populations, with specimens from the latter first showing up showing up in the European hobbyist community around 2006. While some of its range is afforded some protection by the Reserva Communal Cordillera Escallera the greater part of its range remains unprotected and increasingly deforested, and large thanks due to the cancerous spread of oil palm plantation in the lowlands beyond Pongo de Caynarachi. Where suitable habitat does persist populations still thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eMorphs\u003c\/h1\u003e\nThis species represents a remarkable degree of both inter and intrapopulational variation.
