They are greenish to tan, smooth skinned, with scattered dark spots. They also have dorsolateral skin folds on the back and one fold across the back of the head. They possess a disk-shaped fold on their belly (Behler 1979). The young are often greenish with a fawn-colored band across the middle of their back (Conant 1998).

Craugastor augusti is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae found in Mexico and the southern United States. It is known by various common names but most commonly as the barking frog (also common robber frog, cliff frog). The nominal species likely includes more than one species, sometimes described as subspecies such as the common barking frog (Craugastor augusti augusti), western barking frog (Craugastor augusti cactorum), and eastern barking frog (Craugastor augusti latrans).[2] The epithet augusti is in honor of renowned French zoologist Auguste Duméril.[3]
It is called the barking frog because its call sounds like the barking of a small dog, although vocalizations vary by area.[4] It is an abundant species in Mexico but apparently rare in the United States.[1] However, they are very difficult to detect unless they are calling, which only occurs during few nights after rains.[4]
Adult Craugastor augusti measure 47–94 mm (1.9–3.7 in). They have a characteristic fold of skin across the back of the head as well as well-developed tubercles on their feet. Colouration is sexually dimorphic.[4]
The natural habitats of Craugastor augusti are shrublands and deserts. It is a terrestrial frog that hides under rocks, in caves, or crevices. Eggs are laid in similar microhabitats and develop directly to small froglets, without the free-living tadpole stage.[1] They are known to live for up to seven years in the wild, at least, and 11 years in captivity.[5]

Craugastor augusti est une espèce d'amphibiens de la famille des Craugastoridae.
Craugastor augusti is een kikker uit de familie Craugastoridae. De soort werd voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Alfredo Dugès in Paul Brocchi in 1879. Oorspronkelijk werd de wetenschappelijke naam Hylodes augusti gebruikt. De soort behoorde lange tijd tot het geslacht Eleutherodactylus.[2] De soortaanduiding augusti is een eerbetoon aan de bioloog Auguste Duméril (1812 - 1870).
De kikker komt voor in Mexico en het zuidelijke deel van Verenigde Staten.[3]
Een volwassen Craugastor augusti wordt gemiddeld 47 tot 94 millimeter lang. De kikker heeft een karakteristieke huidplooi over de kop en redelijk goed ontwikkelde tuberkels (knobbeltjes) op hun voeten.[4]
