Eleutherodactylus glandulifer (common names: La Hotte glanded frog,[2] Doris' robber frog[3]) is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti.[3] Its natural habitat is closed-canopy forest, usually near streams.[1] Its most distinctive feature are its striking blue sapphire-colored eyes—a highly unusual trait among amphibians.[2]
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]
