Eleutherodactylus probolaeus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the La Romana Province, Dominican Republic, [2] 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. [1]
Eleutherodactylus amplinympha is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to Dominica, Lesser Antilles, where it occurs in the interior of the island at elevations of 300–1,200 m (980–3,940 ft) asl. It is locally known as the gounouj.
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 eunaster is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti.
