Craugastor fecundus (McCranie & Wilson)
Fertile Robber Frog (Craugastor fecundus)
This species was described in 1997, it was found in Quebrada de Oro and Cerro Calentura in the Sierra Nombre de Dios in the Departments Atlantica resp. Colon in northern Honduras.
The species was originally found to be very abundant, but was not found during recent searches in 1996 and 1997 and is thus now feared to be extinct. However, there seem to have not been any additional searches for this species since that time, so there is still a chance that it might very well be rediscovered.

Sonson Frog (Atopophrynus syntomopus)
This species, a small reddish brown frog, was described in 1982, it is known only from three specimens.
The Sonson Frog was found near Sonsón, a municipality in the Cordillera Central, in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia. The species inhabited wet rocks near a stream in primary forest at an elevation of about 2780 m, this locality, however, is now highly degraded due to guerilla activities.
The Sonson Frog was never found again since its description and is very likely extinct.
