Craugastor melanostictus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Craugastor alfredi is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss. Many populations are attracted to living in or near cave entrances, due to orthopterans and other food sources. They are categorized by having truncated digital pads on their two outer fingers and each fifth toe extends longer than the third. A subspecies of Craugastor alfredi was recently discovered in the Honduras called Craugastor cyanochthebius.
Craugastor anciano was a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It was endemic to the Cordillera de Celaque in Honduras. Its natural habitats were moist premontane and lower montane forests. It lived on the ground along streams.
Craugastor andi is a species of rain frog in the family Craugastoridae which has not been seen since 1990. It is found in the Caribbean drainage of Costa Rica in the mountains and hills of the Cordillera Central and the far northeastern Cordillera de Talamanca, and in extreme northwestern Panama. Frank and Ramus (1995) give it the vernacular name Atlantic robber frog. It is known locally in Spanish by the generic names, used for many species, of rana de hojarasca, ranita or sapito.
Craugastor bocourti is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Guatemala and found on the mountains of the Alta Verapaz Department and the Sierra de las Minas. It is named after Marie Firmin Bocourt, a French zoologist and artist.
Craugastor bransfordii is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Its conservation status in terms of IUCN Status is Least Concern (LC).
Craugastor coffeus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Honduras and possibly Guatemala. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and plantations . It is threatened by habitat loss.
Craugastor gollmeri is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Craugastor noblei is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Gunther's robber frog, Günther's robber frog, or Guerreran robber frog is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur in the Guerrero state, Mexico. Its natural habitats are pine, oak, and pine-oak forests with plenty of leaf-litter on the ground. It is a relatively common species but declining and threatened by habitat loss and disturbance.
Craugastor palenque is a species of frogs in the family Craugastoridae.
Craugastor phasma is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to southeastern Costa Rica and only known from its type locality in the Las Tablas protected area in the Puntarenas Province, near the Panamanian border. Only a single individual—the holotype collected in 1992—has ever been observed. It is unusual in its ghost-like, gray-white coloration, and it was initially thought that the specimen was an albino form of some other species. However, the specimen is also morphologically distinct, although some uncertainty regarding the validity of this species remains.
Craugastor ranoides is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the southern Atlantic lowland of Nicaragua and northwestern Costa Rica, and through Costa Rica to extreme western Panama. Its natural habitats are, principally, lowland and premontane wet forests in association with small streams, but also dry forests with perennial streams. It is threatened by habitat loss and chytridiomycosis. The species has disappeared from much of its former range in Costa Rica, also in pristine habitats, possibly because of chytridiomycosis.
Craugastor rhodopis, also known as the polymorphic robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Mexico and known from isolated high-elevation populations in western Veracruz and adjacent Hidalgo and Puebla states, and apparently disjunctly, from central and southeastern Chiapas and adjacent Oaxaca. Its natural habitat is tropical montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Craugastor rostralis is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Guatemala and Honduras. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, plantations, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Craugastor sartori, also known as the Chiapas dwarf robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Mexico and known from the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in the vicinity of Cerro Ovando, at elevations of about 1,200–1,900 m (3,900–6,200 ft) asl. Its natural habitats are montane cloud and mixed forests. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by particularly logging.
Craugastor spatulatus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Mexico and known from Cuautlapam in central Veracruz and Vista Hermosa in the Sierra Juárez, Oaxaca. Its natural habitat is cloud forest. This formerly abundant species has strongly declined because of habitat loss, although other factors may have been involved too.
Craugastor talamancae is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the Atlantic versant of Panama, Costa Rica, and southeastern Nicaragua. Common name Almirante robber frog has been proposed for it.
Craugastor taylori is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from its type locality near Rayón Mescalapa, Chiapas, in Southeast Mexico. Its common name is Taylor's robber frog. It is named in honour of Edward Harrison Taylor.
Craugastor underwoodi is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, pastureland, plantations, and heavily degraded former forest.
Craugastor yucatanensis, also known as the Yucatan robber frog or Yucatan rainfrog, is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Both terrestrial and arboreal in its lifestyle, its natural habitat are tropical lowland semi-deciduous and deciduous forests.
