Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides (Cope, 1878)
Examined material. UNITED STATES • 5 via survey, 3 via iNaturalist; Texas, Harris County, Houston ; 29.7700°N, 095.5666°W; first encounter on 20 Jan. 2018; capture via transect survey GoogleMaps .
Identification. Nonnative species. This small frog is marked by dark lines starting from the nostrils and continuing through the eyes. Although hard to distinguish from Eleutherodactylus marnockii (Cope, 1878) , their range does not overlap at this study site and E. cystignathoides is typically darker with a more distinct pattern ( Powell et al. 2016).
