Cruziohyla is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. They occur from Honduras in Central America south to the Amazon Basin in South America.[1] This genus was erected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae and fully reviewed in 2018.[1] Species in this genus were previously placed in the genera Agalychnis or Phyllomedusa.[2]
These frogs are characterized by extensive hand and foot webbing. Their eye has a bicoloured iris. Tadpoles develop in water-filled depressions on fallen trees.[2] The name Cruziohyla honors Brazilian herpetologist Carlos Alberto Gonçalves da Cruz.[2]
