Eleutherodactylus rhodesi (common name: Rhodes' robber frog) is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It is endemic to the Nord-Ouest Department, Haiti, where it is only known from its type locality on the northeastern base of the Presqu'ile du Nord-Ouest, near Port-de-Paix.[2] It has been found in leaf-litter and under rocks in forest. Habitat loss caused by logging and agriculture is the main threat to this species.[1]
