Eleutherodactylus Eunaster
''Eleutherodactylus eunaster'' is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae Endemism, endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti. Its natural habitat is mesic hardwood closed-canopy forest at elevations of Above sea level, asl. It is an arboreal species that is moderately common in suitable habitat. It is threatened by habitat loss primarily caused by logging for charcoaling and slash-and-burn agriculture. While the species occurs in the Pic Macaya National Park, there is no active management for conservation, and habitat loss continues also in the park.

Skin is dorsally and laterally moderately tuberculate; the venter grades from being smooth anteriorly to tuberculate posteriorly. The dorsal ground color is orange-brown or orange-tan. There is one scapular and one midbody brown, ill-defined chevron. Narrow, light, dorsolateral stripes may be present. Limbs are marked with gray bars. Males have a single, external vocal sac. The male advertisement call is and emitted at long intervals (about two minutes), making it difficult to find the calling frog. The ca ...

A native of Haiti, it can be found in the Tiburon Peninsula northwest, to the Massif de la Hotte. It has an estimated polygon In geometry, a polygon () is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed ''polygonal chain'' (or ''polygonal circuit'').

Eleutherodactylus Darlingtoni
''Eleutherodactylus darlingtoni'' is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Massif de la Selle, Haiti; it is expected to occur in the Dominican Republic. It is a rare species occurring in high-elevation pine forest. It is threatened by habitat loss; while the species occurs in the La Visite National Park La Visite National Park (french: Parc National La Visite) is one of the two largest national parks of the Republic of Haiti. La Visite is a part of the Massif de la Selle mountain range. Its highest peak is 2275 meters in elevation.

Eleutherodactylus Counouspeus
''Eleutherodactylus counouspeus'', also known as Counou robber frog and yellow cave frog, is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, southwestern Haiti. The specific name ''counouspeus'' refers to its type locality, Counou Bois Cave, with ''speus'' being Greek for "cave". Hedges and colleagues suggested in 2008 that it should be placed in its own monotypic subgenus, ''Schwartzius'', reflecting its distinctiveness and honoring Albert Schwartz for "his contributions to the herpetology of the West Indies." Description ''Eleutherodactylus counouspeus'' is a relatively large ''Eleutherodactylus'' species: males can grow to and females to in snout–vent length. The snout is truncate. The tympanum is oval and distinct. The digital discs are well-developed. The fingers lack webbing while the toes have rudimentary webbing. The dorsum is greenish yellow to tan, with black or gray markings. These include an interocular bar that is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eleutherodactylus Corona
''Eleutherodactylus corona'' is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti.

Common name Caye Paul robber frog has been coined for it. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length; adults weight about . The body is dorsoventrally flattened.

Eleutherodactylus Coqui
''Eleutherodactylus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae.Hedges, S. B., W. E. Duellman, and M. P. Heinicke . 2008. New World direct-developing frogs (Anura: Terrarana): molecular phylogeny, classification, biogeography, and conservation. Zootaxa 1737: 1-182. Many of the 200 species of the genus are commonly known as "rain frogs" or "robber frogs", due to their sharp, high-pitched, insect-like calls. The best-known species is the common coquí (''E. coqui''), which is both a national symbol of Puerto Rico and a notorious invasive species in Hawaii. Two ''Eleutherodactylus'' species, '' E. limbatus'' and '' E. iberia'', are among the smallest known frogs, measuring only 8.5 mm in length (only slightly larger than ''Paedophryne amauensis'', which measures around 7.7 mm). Etymology The name "Eleutherodactylus" is derived from the Greek words for ‘free-toed’, composed of the Ancient Greek ' (, ‘free, unbound’) and ' (, ‘finger, toe’). Most s ...

False Green Robber Frog
The false green robber frog (''Eleutherodactylus chlorophenax'') is a species of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, southwestern Haiti. Etymology The specific name ''chlorophenax'' is derived from Greek words for "green" and "imposter", the first referring to the prevalent green body color and the latter alluding to the resemblance of this species to ''Eleutherodactylus inoptatus''. Description The holotype, an adult male and the only type specimen, measured in snout–vent length (SVL). This is also the maximum (recorded) size for males, while the maximum female size is SVL. The head is slightly wider than it is long. The snout is truncate. The tympanum is visible. The dorsum is either green or tan with some green areas. Some individuals have weakly defined dark scapular spots and dorsolateral lines, but otherwise the dorsum is almost without any distinct pattern. The fingers are unwebbed while the toes are slightly webbed. Both ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
