Here's how I understand it. If anyone is a Taxonomist, please chime in !
Oophaga pumilio - All Latin names italicized (Can't do this for the header of the thread / topic).
Genus Capitalized
species not capitalized.
Locations/ populations and other subjective naming, for example: 'Big Creek, Isla Colon (nominate ?),Bluff locations, Drago (older imports with orange legs), Mimitimbi" - Not italicized, CAN be Capitalized but always put in "Quotation Marks"
More Examples:
Dendrobates auratus
Dendrobates tinctorius 'Azureus'
