The Ceiba stream frog (Atlantihyla spinipollex) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Honduras.[1][2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.

In 2020, a population of frogs believed to be the Ceiba stream frog was described as a new species, Atlantihyla melissa. This new species is a sister species to the Ceiba stream frog.[3]
