From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cruziohyla is a genus of frogs in the Hylidae family. This genus was erected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae family [1]. The two species in this genus were previously placed in the Agalychnis genus. The genus is also separated from the genus Agalychnis by several distinctive morphological characteristics, including having two colours in the eye, both grey and yellow, and by lacking the reticulated membrane that covers the eye in the genus Agalychnis. Further characteristics include an extended calcar and finges on the leg of Cruziohyla craspedopus. The range of Cruziohyla calcarifer extends through Central America into northern South America, wheras Cruziohyla craspedopus is found only in Amazonia.
