Eleutherodactylus glanduliferoides
Eleutherodactylus glanduliferoides is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the Massif de la Selle, Haiti.[2] It is a very rare species that may already be extinct. Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forest at elevations of 1,515–2,121 m (4,970–6,959 ft) asl. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by charcoaling and slash-and-burn agriculture. The known locality is just outside the La Visite National Park (which has no active management for conservation, and sees continuing habitat loss).[1]
