Eleutherodactylus dolomedes (common names: Hispaniolan ventriloquial frog,[2] Hedge's robber frog[3]) is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is endemic to the Massif de la Hotte, Haiti.[3] It is an arboreal species inhabiting high-elevation cloud forest at an elevation of 1,120 m (3,670 ft) asl and only known from one site within the Pic Macaya National Park. However, there is no active management for conservation, and habitat loss continues in the park.[1]
