Eleutherodactylus iberia (Robber frog)

Synonyms: Euhyas iberia

Wikipedia Abstract

The Monte Iberia eleuth (Eleutherodactylus iberia) is a small eleutherodactylid frog endemic to eastern Cuba. It is the smallest living frog in the Northern Hemisphere, about 10 mm (0.39 in) in snout–vent length. It is the third-smallest frog (and tetrapod) in the world, following Paedophryne amauensis and the Brazilian gold frog. It was first discovered in 1993 on Mount Iberia (Holguín Province), from which it gets its name, and exists in only two small regions of Cuba. Much remains unknown about this small creature.
