Boana cambui is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil . Scientists have seen it 905 meters above sea level.[1][2]

The adult male frog measures 26.3–32.8 mm long in snout-vent length. Scientists captured and measured one adult female frog, finding her to be 32.7 mm long. This frog's head is wider than the middle of its body.[2]

This frog changes color over the course of the day. At night, this frog is dark brown in color with light brown spots and a light stripe down each side. During the day, this frog is lighter in color and the stripes and brown spots become less pronounced, and small red spots become visible.[2]
