Bromeliohyla, sometimes known as the bromeliad treefrogs,[1] is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. This genus was erected in 2022 following a major revision of the Hylidae. The original two species in this genus were previously placed in the genus Hyla. It is the former Hyla bromeliacea group identified in a genetic study by Duellman (1970).[2] Frogs in the genus are found in tropical southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and northern Honduras.
The genus contains three species:
Binomial name and author | Common name |
