Description: Adult males measure 0.6 to 0.9 inches and adult females 0.6 to 1.0 inches in snout–vent length. The snout is pointed and the body is flat and elongated. Tympanum is visible. The finger tips are slightly expanded. Dorsal skin is weakly pustular, that of venter is smooth to areolate. Dorsal coloration is variable (brown, gray, or yellow-green) and includes dark spots. Ventral skin is translucent. The hind limbs have dark crossbars.[

Habitat: Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides occurs at low elevation coastal plains and at low to moderate elevations in foothills. Individuals can be found in moist shaded vegetation, palm groves, thickets, ditches, resacas, lawns, and gardens. Many records are from urban settings. They can hide under cover objects during the day. They have been observed to utilize arboreal perches 7.9 to 59.1 inches above the ground.

Range: It is found from the southern United States in Texas. Its range in Texas has expanded because of transport in potted plants,[1][3] and there is also a likely introduced population in Louisiana.

Found in these States: TX

Diet: Little is known on their feeding ecology but some individuals have been observed consuming prey such as small spiders, flies, termites, and other insects.

Reproduction: Reproduction is terrestrial and direct, without a free-living larval stage. Under laboratory conditions, eggs are laid just under the soil surface. Clutch size is 5–13 eggs measuring 0.12 to 0.14 inches in diameter. The eggs hatch as froglets that measure approximately 0.20 to 0.33 inches.

Status: This species is quite common throughout its range and no major threats to it are known;[1] rather, they appear to thrive in the presence of humans.[

Subspecies: None
