The La Hotte bush frog or Baker's robber frog is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Massif de la Hotte in southwestern Haiti.

"Eleutherodactylus" bilineatus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. Its placement with the family is uncertain, although it is likely close to the clade Noblella+Barycholos within subfamily Holoadeninae. It is endemic to the Bahia state in eastern Brazil. Its natural habitat is lowland moist forest, but it also occurs in cocoa plantations. It tolerates habitat modification as long as trees are present. It has been found in leaf litter and in bromeliads. It can be threatened by habitat loss.
Eleutherodactylus casparii is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to Sierra de Trinidad, Cienfuegos Province, Cuba. Its natural habitat is mesic forest, but it also occurs in anthropogenic habitats such as plantations and in introduced vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Eleutherodactylus counouspeus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti. Its natural habitats are limestone caves and crevices in closed, humid forest at elevations of 300–760 m (980–2,490 ft) asl. It is a moderately common species but threatened by habitat loss. The species occurs in the Pic Macaya National Park, but there is no active management for conservation, and habitat loss continues in the park.
Eleutherodactylus cubanus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae found in Cuba. Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Eleutherodactylus dixoni is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Eleutherodactylus flavescens is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the eastern Dominican Republic. Its natural habitats are mesic forest, and occasionally, mangroves. It is a very common frog in suitable habitat, but has declined in parts of its range. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by infrastructure development and agricultural encroachment.
Eleutherodactylus grahami is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to Artibonite, Haiti, the northwestern region of the country. Its common name is Graham's robber frog.
The half-stripe bromeliad frog or Shreve's robber frog is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to Hispaniola and found in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The La Selle dusky frog or Mable's robber frog, Eleutherodactylus jugans, is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It is endemic to Hispaniola and known from the Massif de la Selle, both in the Dominican Republic and in Haiti. Its natural habitats are mesic pine and broadleaf forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is moderately common in suitable habitat, but threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and agriculture. It is known from both La Visite National Park (Haiti) and Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, but habitat degradation is occurring in these areas too.
Eleutherodactylus leberi is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae, endemic to Cuba. Its natural habitat is closed mesic forest, including wet limestone forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Eleutherodactylus minutus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic, at elevations of 879–2,300 m (2,884–7,546 ft) asl. Its common name is tiny robber frog. Its natural habitats are mesic upland broadleaf or pine forests. In suitable habitat it is moderately common. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture.
Eleutherodactylus montanus is a species of frogs in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic, at elevations of 1,270–2,424 m (4,167–7,953 ft) asl. Its common name is Dominican mountain robber frog. Its natural habitat is closed-canopy forest and forest remnants. It is typically found in the fern understorey; males call from low vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture and by disturbance from ecotourism.
The Hispaniolan yellow-mottled frog or painted robber frog, Eleutherodactylus pictissimus, is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to Hispaniola and found in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Its natural habitats are dry scrub forest, mesic broadleaf forest, and secondary forest. It is a terrestrial frog that lays its eggs on the ground. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Eleutherodactylus principalis is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to eastern Cuba and found in the upland regions of Holguín and Guantánamo Provinces. Its natural habitats are mesic, closed forests at elevations of 300–1,000 m (980–3,280 ft) above sea level. It is an arboreal species that is moderately common within suitable habitat. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by mining and agriculture. It occurs in the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, but habitat loss is also occurring in the park.
Eleutherodactylus probolaeus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the La Romana Province, Dominican Republic, at elevations of 0–60 m (0–197 ft) asl. Its natural habitat is low elevation semi-mesic broadleaf forest. It is moderately common in suitable habitat but threatened by habitat loss, mainly caused by tourism and agriculture.
Eleutherodactylus ruthae is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to Hispaniola and known from scattered locations in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It was described by Gladwyn Kingsley Noble, who named it in honour of his wife, Ruth Crosby Noble; she also first discovered the species. It might represent more than one species. Eleutherodactylus aporostegus, Eleutherodactylus bothroboans, Eleutherodactylus tychaethrous were first described as subspecies of Eleutherodactylus ruthae, but have later been elevated to full species status.
The Virgin Islands coqui is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. The species is endemic to the British Virgin Islands and the US Virgin Islands.
Eleutherodactylus zeus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to western Cuba and known from the Sierra de los Órganos and the Sierra del Rosario, in the Pinar del Río and Artemisa provinces. Its natural habitats are rock crevices and caves in mesic broadleaf forest in limestone areas. It is threatened by habitat loss and disturbance associated with tourism.
The Puerto Rican rock frog, Eleutherodactylus cooki, also known as the Puerto Rican cave-dwelling frog or rock coqui, and locally as coquí guajón, or guajón for brevity, is a threatened frog species from the coqui genus. This unique species of tropical frogs dwells primarily in crevices and grottos in the Cuchilla de Panduras mountain range in southeastern Puerto Rico. The native name guajón is derived from its habitat, guajonales, which are caves formed by rock formations between huge stones. Despite being the state animal and considered emblematic of the region, of the 17 species of coquí, three are believed to be extinct and the rest are rare and declining in numbers. The Puerto Rican rock frog is extremely restricted in geographical distribution. The frog is threatened due to deforestation, agricultural, rural, and industrial development, and the associated infrastructure. It is sometimes called the “demon of Puerto Rico" because of its eerie call and phantom-like appearance. The species was first described by American herpetologist, Chapman Grant in 1932.
