Haddadus binotatus (common name: clay robber frog) is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. Haddadus binotatus is a very common frog. It inhabits primary and secondary forest and forest edges. It is usually found in the leaf-litter on the forest floor, or on leaves in low vegetation inside the forest.[1]

It is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic forest and most dominantly found in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo.[2] The density of leaf eating frogs like Haddadus binotatus is higher in Central America than southern America. The Haddadus binotatus is a direct-developing frog and the most abundant species in the community.[3]  

Female frogs reach 64 mm (2.5 in) snout–vent length.[4] The female of the species were larger than the males, which may result from the production of larger eggs.[2]
