Hyalinobatrachinae Explained

Hyalinobatrachinae is a subfamily of glass frogs (family Centrolenidae) that was established in 2009.^[1] They are found in the Americas from Mexico south to southeastern Brazil and Argentina.^[2]

The subfamily contains 32 species in two genera:^[2]

• Celsiella Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009 (2 species)
• Hyalinobatrachium Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991 (30 species)

AmphibiaWeb gives a slightly higher species count as it includes two additional Hyalinobatrachium species^[1] that are placed in synonymy in the Amphibian Species of the World.
