A monophyletic assemblage of six species: Ranitomeya vanzolinii Myers 1982 ; R. sirensis Aichinger 1991 with its junior synonyms R. biolat Morales 1992 and R. lamasi Morales 1992 ; R. imitator Schulte 1986 with its junior synonyms R. imitator intermedius Schulte 1999 and R. imitator yurimaguensis Schulte 1999 ; R. flavovittata Schulte 1999 ; R. yavaricola Perez-Peña, Chavez, Twomey & Brown 2010 and R. cyanovittata Perez-Peña, Chavez, Twomey & Brown 2010 .
