Craugastor rhyacobatrachus is a species of frogs in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in the Pacific slopes of the Talamanca-Barú Massif of Costa Rica and western Panama.[1][3] The specific name rhyacobatrachus is derived from Greek batrachos (for "frog") and rhyaco ("torrent"), in reference to the torrential streams that this species inhabits.[2]
Adult males measure 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in) and adult females 55–81 mm (2.2–3.2 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is subelliptical to elliptical from above and rounded in profile. The upper eye is covered with large tubercles. The tympanum is distinct. The fingers have large discs and weak lateral fringes. The toes have large discs, definite fringes, and are heavily webbed. Skin is dorsally very rugose. The dorsum is tan to olive brown, heavily spotted or blotched with even darker markings. The posterior thigh surface has pale yellow and brown mottling. The venter is pale yellow and is heavily marked brown, as is the throat and chest.[2]
Natural habitats of Craugastor rhyacobatrachus are streams in streams within humid montane forests at elevations of 950–1,800 m (3,120–5,910 ft) above sea level. It is associated with rocks and waterfalls, normally found at night sitting or foraging on rocks in mountain streams.[1][2] This species was once quite common where it occurred. It appears to have gone extinct in Costa Rica, where, as of 2007, it has not been seen after 1964. It is also believed to have declined in Panama. In addition to habitat loss, the decline is assumed to be caused by chytridiomycosis.[1]

Craugastor rhyacobatrachus es una especie de anuros en la familia Craugastoridae.[2]
Es endémica de Costa Rica y Panamá.[2]
Se encuentra amenazada por la pérdida de su hábitat natural y quizá por la quitridiomicosis.[1]

Craugastor rhyacobatrachus est une espèce d'amphibiens de la famille des Craugastoridae[1].
Cette espèce ne se rencontre désormais plus que dans l'ouest du Panama entre 950 et 1 800 m d'altitude sur le volcan Barú. Elle n'a pas été observée depuis 1964 et semble éteinte de la cordillère de Talamanca au Costa Rica[1],[2].

Craugastor rhyacobatrachus is een kikker uit de familie Craugastoridae.[2] De soort werd voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Jonathan Atwood Campbell en Jay Mathers Savage in 2000. Oorspronkelijk werd de wetenschappelijke naam Eleutherodactylus rhyacobatrachus gebruikt. De soortaanduiding rhyacobatrachus is afgeleid uit het Grieks en betekent vrij vertaald 'beekkikker'; rhyak = beekje en batrachus = kikker.
De soort komt voor in delen van Midden-Amerika in de landen Costa Rica en Panama.[3]
Voorheen was deze soort redelijk algemeen in de Cordillera de Talamanca op hoogtes tussen de 950 en 1800 meter boven zeeniveau. Ten gevolge van de schimmelziekte chytridiomycose en habitatverlies is Craugastor rhyacobatrachus inmiddels een bedreigde soort. In Costa Rica is deze kikker al sinds 1964 niet meer waargenomen, terwijl ook de Panamese populaties sterk in aantal zijn afgenomen.
