It's supposed to be the Phylobates Terribilis. However, the name Poison Dart frog is a common term for the Poison Frogs, the Dendrobatidae family of frogs. The family is split into four genera: Epipedobates, Colostethus, Dendrobataes, and Phyllobates. A question that is raised is how the frogs produce this toxicity and research points towards the frog's diet of highly toxic insects to be an important factor in the frog's ability to synthesize its own poison. See site listed below for more details.
The scientific name of a poison dart frog is Dendrobates, although some species have been reclassified to the genus Ranitomeya.

Conclusion about the poison dart frog?
Poison dart frogs, as their name suggests, secrete a poison through their skin. The poison functions like an acid, seeping through skin and affecting neural activity. As a result of their powerful poison, the frogs have no animal predators (except for humans). Sadly, the poison dart frog is threatened by a fungus called chytrid fungus, which may be the only living thing that lives on poison dart frogs. The fungus blocks the frog's skin, suffocating it. Poison dart frogs are now extinct in the wild.
