Eleutherodactylus semipalmatus is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It is endemic to Haiti and known from the Massif de la Hotte and Massif de la Selle. Its common name is foothill robber frog.[2] Its natural habitats are streams and their vicinity in mesic hardwood forests at elevations of 303–1,697 m (994–5,568 ft) asl.[1]
This formerly abundant species has not been reported since 1985 and may already be extinct. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and agriculture. It is known from the Pic Macaya and La Visite National Parks, but habitat degradation is occurring in these areas too.[1]
