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. [2] Both terrestrial and arboreal in its lifestyle, its natural habitat are tropical lowland semi-deciduous and deciduous forests. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by tourism. [1]

Craugastor mexicanus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to eastern Mexico and occurs in the states of Oaxaca, Puebla, Hidalgo, and Veracruz. It is a common species inhabiting tropical wet and semi-deciduous forest, pine-oak montane forest, and montane cloud forest at elevations of 700–3,420 m (2,300–11,220 ft) above sea level.
