The La Selle red-legged frog or Furcy robber frog (Eleutherodactylus furcyensis) is a species of frog in the Eleutherodactylidae family. It is endemic to southern Hispaniola and occurs in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Specifically, it occurs on the Massif de la Selle (Haiti) east to the western Baoruco Mountain Range (Dominican Republic). Its natural habitats are upland mesic pine forests, where it is usually found under rocks and logs. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and agriculture. It is known from protected areas, but habitat loss continues also within those areas.
