Craugastor lineatus, also known as the Montane Robber Frog, is a critically endangered amphibian in the Leptodactylidae family. It is native to Guatemala and southern Mexico.[1] This is a critically endangered species which experiences a rapid population decline, probably as a result of the effects of chytridiomycosis.[1]
