Craugastor persimilis is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the lowlands and premontane Atlantic slopes of central to southeastern Costa Rica.[2] Its natural habitats are lowland and premontane moist rainforest. It lives in leaf-litter and can persist in moderately disturbed areas, including plantations. It is an adaptable species that is not considered threatened, despite severe habitat fragmentation within its range.[1]
Craugastor persimilis are small frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of 13–18 mm (0.51–0.71 in) and females to 13–23 mm (0.51–0.91 in).[3]
