Abstract

We registered the first three localities for the invasive frog Eleutherodactylus planirostris in El Salvador within urban sites, and four new localities in Honduras, including three new department records and the first record from a protected area in Honduras. We discuss the invasion progress of the species in these two countries and mention one of several possible ways in which this species is dispersing in Honduras and how some populations are occupying new habitats from their dispersal points.
