The Kanaima tree frog (Myersiohyla kanaima) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Guyana[1] and possibly Brazil and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests,[2] and rivers. A specimen of Hoogmoed's tree frog (Hypsiboas roraima MHNLS 10103), typically from 1150 meters elevations in the upland mountain range of Sierra de Lema, Venezuela,[3] has, according to Goin & Woodley, "a striking dorsal pattern resembling that of Myersiohyla kanaima."[4]
