Eleutherodactylus interorbitalis

Eleutherodactylus interorbitalis, also known as the Sinaloa piping frog and spectacled chirping frog, is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to Mexico and is known from the states of Sonora, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, and Durango.[1][2] It occurs in the foothills of tropical deciduous forest and in open oak woodlands with a rocky, grass understory at elevations of 200–1,600 m (660–5,250 ft) above sea level. It tolerates deforestation as long as there are rocky areas available. Development is direct[1] (i.e, there is no free-living larval stage[3]). It can locally suffer from habitat deterioration but is not threatened overall.[1]
