Hyloscirtus is a genus of frogs in the Hylidae family. This genus was resurrected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae family [1]. The distingushing feature being 56 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. 28 species that were previously placed in the Hyla genus were moved to this genus. The fingers and toes of these frogs have wide dermal fringes.
