The short-nosed green frog[1] or shortsnout robber frog (Eleutherodactylus brevirostris) is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti.[2] Its natural habitats are dwarf cloud forests, although it can also be found in clearings. It is found under ground cover, and the eggs are laid on the ground. It is threatened by habitat loss; while the species occurs in the Pic Macaya National Park, there is no active management for conservation, and the habitat loss continues in the park.[1]
