Craugastor anciano was a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It was endemic to the Cordillera de Celaque in Honduras. [2] Its natural habitats were moist premontane and lower montane forests. It lived on the ground along streams. [1]

Craugastor anciano was an extremely rare species that is now considered extinct. Chytridiomycosis is a possible reason, although habitat loss may have also contributed. [1]
