Rhaebo haematiticus — Frost et al. 2006: 365.

Males SVL = 25–31 mm, females SVL = 28–35 mm.

This species is easily recognized by the lack of cranial crest, by the presence of large parotids, and having a distinct inner tarsal fold. Finger I longer than II, no webbing on any fingers; toes are joined by a webbing at the base. A total of 56 individuals were registered. All adults were found in the forest, while juveniles were found along the margin of the creeks and streams in 4 of the sampling stations (Stations 2, 3, 4 and 5) between 250 and 1100 m. Rhaebo haematiticus is distributed from eastern Honduras to western Ecuador, northern Colombia and western Venezuela between 75 and 1000 m ( Mueses-Cisneros 2009). In Colombia it is found in the tropical rainforests and sub-Andean forests of the lowlands of the Pacific region up to the Middle ( Acosta-Galvis 2019).
