Craugastor ranoides

Craugastor ranoides is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the southern Atlantic lowland of Nicaragua and northwestern Costa Rica, and through Costa Rica to extreme western Panama.^[2][3][4] Its natural habitats are, principally, lowland and premontane wet forests in association with small streams, but also dry forests with perennial streams.^[1][3] It is threatened by habitat loss and chytridiomycosis. The species has disappeared from much of its former range in Costa Rica, also in pristine habitats, possibly because of chytridiomycosis.^[1]
