The Jamaican snoring frog (Osteopilus crucialis), or Harlan's Antilles frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to central Jamaica.[2] Its natural habitats are mesic broadleaf woods and forests with large dead trees. It can be found on tree trunks and in bromeliads; males call from hollows in branches and bromeliads. Eggs are laid in bromeliads. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
