Genus of amphibians
Rheobates is a genus of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Colombia. These are cryptically coloured frogs with extensive toe webbing. The name "Rheobates" is derived from the Greek words "rheo" (stream, current) and βάτης "bátēs" (a walker), in reference to the riparian habitat of the type species "Rheobates palmatus". They are associated with streams in sub-Andean forests and foothills of the Andes at low to medium altitudes.
