Craugastor laevissimus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Honduras and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are lowland and sub-montane wet and moist forests; it can survive in degraded forest and secondary growth. It occurs along streams and small rivers.
Craugastor laevissimus was previously a common frog but has then declined. The reasons for the decline are not fully understood; habitat loss, chytridiomycosis, and pollution are among the possible causes of decline. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chortis Streamside Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Lago de Yojoa (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates.
