Craugastor taylori is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to Mexico and only known from its type locality near Rayón Mescalapa, Chiapas, in Southeast Mexico. [1] [3] Its common name is Taylor's robber frog. [3] It is named in honour of Edward Harrison Taylor. [2]
Craugastor taylori resembles Craugastor megalotympanum, which may be its closest relative. The holotype of Craugastor taylori, a male, measures 26 mm (1.0 in) in snout–vent length. Dorsum is smooth and pale cream in colour. Skin has some faint markings; limbs are banded. Tympanum is distinct and relatively large, ¾ of the eye diameter. Head is broader than long and snout is long. [2]
Its natural habitat is presumably montane forest. [1] The original description does not mention the specific habitat but refers to collections in cloud forests. [2] It is a protected species in Mexico. [1]
