List of amphibians of Hispaniola

The amphibians of Hispaniola are diverse.

The island of Hispaniola, shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, is remarkable for its amphibian diversity - with approximately 99% of species being endemic to the island. Many species are restricted to just one of the two countries, and a significant number are microendemic, meaning they are found only in very specific locations within their respective countries. This list catalogs the amphibian species of Hispaniola, including extant native species, introduced species, and those that may have gone extinct in recent history. ^[1]
