Eleutherodactylus rubrimaculatus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It is found in southeastern Pacific Chiapas, Mexico, and in the adjacent southwestern Guatemala.[1][2] The specific name rubrimaculatus is Latin and means "spotted with red", and refers to the coloration of this species.[3] Common names dusky chirping frog and red-spotted chirping frog have been coined for it.[1][2]
