The red-eyed coquí, churí, coqui churí, or coquí de las Antillas (Eleutherodactylus antillensis) is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae that is found in Puerto Rico, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and introduced to Panama. Its unique physical, habitual, and behavioral characteristics distinguish it from other members of the genus Eleutherodactylus, which contains around 185 species located in the southern United States, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, with 16 different species endemic to Puerto Rico. The red-eyed coqui was brought into Panama City from its native habitats in the late 1960s.
