Sabana robber frog
Craugastor rayo, also known as the Sabana robber frog, is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is endemic to the Cordillera de Talamanca, Costa Rica.
The specific name rayo is an "arbitrary combination of letters that happens to mean lightning in Spanish". However, it also is an allusion to Roy Wallace McDiarmid , collector of the holotype, recognizing his contributions to studying the Costa Rican herpetofauna.
