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

There are three Cruziohyla species:[2][3][4]
