Malachylodes guttilatus |
The Spotted Chirping Frog (Eleutherodactylus guttilatus) is a species of small Leptodactylid frog native to the United States and Mexico. They are found in moderate elevation ranges of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range, from the Davis Mountains in west Texas to south to the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Durango and Guanajuato. They are sometimes referred to as the Mexican Cliff Frog. They grow from 0.75 to 1.25 inches in length, and are easily mistaken for other Eleutherodactylus species, which they shares range. This has lead to some confusion in its taxonomic classification.
