Hyloscirtus albopunctulatus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.[2][3]
The adult male frog measures about 33 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is green or red-brown with small dark marks and small white spots. The iris of the eye is white in color with red reticulations.[3]
This frog is nocturnal. Scientists believe it hides in bromeliad plants. The male frog sings for the female frog from under rocks or near arroyos.[3]
The Latin name of this frog means "white spots on its sides."[3]
It is threatened by habitat loss.
