Craugastor monnichorum
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Craugastor monnichorum is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the mountains of western Panama in the Chiriquí Province;[1][2][3] the type locality is on the slope of Volcán Barú.[4] The specific name monnichorum honors the Monniche family, owners of the property where the type series was collected.[4][5] However, the common name coined for this species, Dunn's robber frog, refers instead to the scientist who described the species, Emmett Reid Dunn.[1][2][3][5]
Description
Adult males measure at least Script error: No such module "convert". and adult females Script error: No such module "convert". in snout–vent length.[4][3] The snout is flat and broad. The tympanum is small (especially in females) but visible. Supratympanic and dorsolater folds are present. The finger and toe discs are well-developed, and the two outermost finger discs are particularly large. The toes have basal webbing. Dorsal coloration in adults is dark brown[4] with considerable variation in shade and patterns between individuals.[6]
Habitat and conservation
Craugastor monnichorum occurs in humid montane forests at elevations of about Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.[1][6] It can be found on the ground, rocks, and in low vegetation.[1][4][6] The development is direct (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage). The main threat to this species presumably is habitat loss (deforestation). It is present in the Volcán Barú National Park and the La Amistad International Park.[1]
