Ameerega yoshina is a species of poison frog found in central Peru. It was found in the Huallaga Province. It resembles A. bassleri and A. pepperi, but can be differentiated by its advertisement call being slower than its relatives; approximately one-half the speed of A. bassleri and one-quarter the speed of A. pepperi.[1]
