Cruziohyla is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. They occur from Honduras in Central America south to the Amazon Basin in South America.[2] This genus was erected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae and fully reviewed in 2018.[2] Species in this genus were previously placed in the genera Agalychnis or Phyllomedusa.[1]
These frogs are characterized by extensive hand and foot webbing. Their eye has a bicoloured iris. Tadpoles develop in water-filled depressions on fallen trees.[1] The name Cruziohyla honors Brazilian herpetologist Carlos Alberto Gonçalves da Cruz.[1]
Species
[edit]There are three Cruziohyla species:[2][3][4]

- Cruziohyla craspedopus (Funkhouser, 1957) — fringe tree frog
- Cruziohyla sylviae Gray, 2018 — Sylvia's tree frog[4]
