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]
