''Eleutherodactylus jaumei'' is a species of
frog in the family
Eleutherodactylidae. This
critically endangered species is
endemic to a tiny area in
Sierra Maestra in southeastern
Cuba, where it mostly lives in closed
mesic forest.
''E. jaumei'' is relatively brightly marked in yellow-orange and very small, up to in snout–to–
vent length. It is part of a closely related Cuban group that contains five additional described species (''
E. cubanus'', ''
E. etheridgei'', ''
E. iberia'', ''
E. limbatus'' and ''
E. orientalis'') and at least one
undescribed species; most of which are of tiny size, relatively brightly colored and possibly
aposematic (at least ''E. iberia'' and ''E. orientalis'' have
alkaloid toxins in their skin).
